About
Acclaimed harpist Alex Rider presents an evening recital as part of the 2026 Summer Festival. A guest tutor at Royal Academy of Music and graduate of Guildhall, and in demand as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestral player, Rider is known for his affinity with French music of the belle époque, often performing on a 1902 Erard harp. His debut recording Fresque Marine features rare French works for the instrument.
