Her solo and ensemble career with groups such as the International Harp Ensemble, Dionysos (cello and harp duet), and various orchestras has taken her around the breadth of Europe. Fran graduated from Birmingham Conservatoire in 2015. In September 2015 Fran achieved her lifelong harp goal and began working for Pilgrim Harps as their resident harpist and online marketing co-ordinator. Not only does Fran have a very busy performing career but she also has a passion for teaching. Fran is the harp teacher at the Blue Coat School, Warwick Prep School and Kings High School for Girls as well as teaching privately.
