Event information
Hathor Duo enjoys exploring the enchanting range of repertoire available to the pairing of flute and harp, spanning from their own arrangements of classical works and folk music to contemporary works. Both Meera Maharaj and Lucy Nolan studied at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) and have since given frequent duo recitals across the UK, from North Yorkshire to Devon. The duo recently performed at Kings Lynn and Beaminster Festivals. They are both passionate chamber musicians and have performed at venues including Bridgewater Hall, Cadogan Hall, Stoller Hall and the Royal Albert Hall.
As ‘Live Music Now’ artists, they also bring performances into the wider community across the country. Outreach is an intrinsic element of musical life for both Meera and Lucy and they enjoy giving interactive concerts in schools for children with special educational needs and disabilities, and in care homes.
Meera enjoys a diverse performing career. Her duo with pianist Dominic Degavino has enjoyed much success and since 2013 she has frequently performed with guitarist James Girling, as the Meraki Duo. Competition successes include first prize in the Royal Academy of Music Flute Competition and Dutch International Flute Competition, plus the Sussex Prize for Woodwind in the 2023 Royal Overseas League competition. She graduated with Distinction in her Masters, studying with Michael Cox at the Royal Academy of Music. In 2017, she graduated from the RNCM (first class honours), studying with Wissam Boustany and Laura Jellicoe. Meera is co-principal flute of the Chineke! Orchestra.
Graduating from Oxford University and the RNCM with distinctions in postgraduate degrees, Lucy was the recipient of a number of prizes and a finalist in the RNCM’s Gold Medal weekend, the highest accolade awarded for performance. As well as featuring in performances for BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4, she regularly works with orchestras such as the Hallé, Manchester Concert Orchestra and the Royal Northern Sinfonia. Lucy is a founding member of the contemporary music group, SHOAL, who recently composed music for a short film for Channel 4, and premiered works at New Music North West Festival, Bury Light Festival and Hull City of Culture.
