Through her strings and vocals, Tara crafts a siren song that resonates with the soul, leaving no listener untouched. Her performances are not merely musical; they are experiences that plumb emotional depths and soar to breathtaking heights.

A World-Class Harpist with a Remarkable Journey

Tara’s journey as a harpist began in her hometown of Melbourne, Australia, where her innate musicality was nurtured from a young age. Initially discovering her passion for piano at just four years old, Tara soon explored voice, flute, and eventually the harp—an instrument she describes as “my burden, my prison, my wings.”

Her talent flourished early, earning her music scholarships and accolades for her exceptional piano and harp performances. At the Ballarat Academy of Performing Arts, Tara honed her vocal abilities and developed a natural command of the stage, skills that now define her captivating live shows.

After arriving in London in 2011, Tara’s career soared. With an endorsement from the renowned French harp makers Les Harpes Camac, she began performing sold-out concerts across the UK, Europe, and her native Australia. Her unique ability to reinvent traditional harp music and integrate it into contemporary genres set her apart, earning her collaborations with iconic artists such as Björk, Tom Walker, and Kitty, Daisy & Lewis.
