ABOUT

My name is Ela and I am 13 years old. I started playing the harp when I was 6,5 years old. I am a student of Manja Smits and as of 2024 part of the Young Talent program of ArtEZ Conservatorium Zwolle.

I regularly attend to national and international competitions. Since 2024 I am a member of Het Kennemer Jeugd Orkest Haarlem conducted by Christiaan Kuyvenhoven. Since 2025 I am also a member of Noordhollands Jeugdorkest conducted by Bas Pollard.

I enjoy playing the harp and my dream is to become a professional harpist in the future.
