The
enchanting duo of harpists Keziah Thomas and Eleanor Turner formed Double
Action in 2002 with the objective of inspiring their audiences with creative
and upbeat programming.
Music spanning five centuries of tragedy and tenderness is brought to
life by the passion and commitment of these dazzling young artists.
Named after the double-action pedal harps which they play, the enterprising
duo was selected for the prestigious Park Lane Group Young Artists Series
2005 at the Purcell Room in London. This resulted in the performance of
three World Premieres and inspired their debut CD, Reaction.
Keziah Thomas and Eleanor Turner met whilst studying with Daphne Boden
at the Royal College of Music. They gave their first duo performance in
London in 2003 at St. James’s Church, Piccadilly. Later that year
Double Action were sponsored by Pilgrim Harps to perform at ‘Journées
de la Harpe’ in Arles and won third prize in the 5th International
Competition for Chamber Music with Harp.
