Tara Minton is a harpist, vocalist and composer hailing from Melbourne, Australia. Since relocating to London in the Spring of 2011 she has built a reputation as a gifted performing artist and session musician, and had already performed many seasons as harpist for Melbourne Opera. She holds a masters degree in jazz performance from The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, an undergraduate degree in musical theatre performance from The University of Ballarat and a diploma of classical piano from The Australian Music Education Board.

No one who hears her perform walks away untouched. She has that strikingly rare entwinement of harp and voice, but in Tara’s case there’s something more at work: a talent made to plumb depths and scale heights. To see her live is to witness an overflowing of musicality and truth.

“There is a palpable joy in her harp-playing, and her singing, and how she combines them” — London Jazz News
