Born in London in 1980, Keziah Thomas started harp lessons at the age of ten, gaining an ARCM diploma and solo debuts at the Wigmore Hall and the Royal Albert Hall whilst still at school. She completed her studies with Daphne Boden at the Royal College of Music in 2002 and was awarded the Douglas Whittaker, Jack Morrison and Marie Goosens Harp Prizes.
Since graduating, Keziah has achieved a busy career as a soloist and chamber musician appearing at major venues and festivals throughout the UK including the Purcell Room, St James’s Piccadilly, Blackheath Halls and the Bath, Rye, Buxton and 3 Choirs Festivals. Keziah was the winner of the 2003 London Harp Competition and, in May 2008, won the Camac Harp Competition, her prize including a debut recital in Paris in 2009.
Internationally, Keziah has performed at the 8th, 9th and 10th World Harp Congresses in Geneva, Dublin and Amsterdam and the 2003 Journées de la Harpe Festival in France with her harp duo Double Action. Keziah recently undertook a tour of Japan to critical acclaim, presenting a series of solo recitals as an ambassador for Aoyama Harps.
'A beautiful performance
with a sense of fantasy and poise.
Keziah's playing was most sensitive,
well balanced and musical'
Hugh Bean, Millennium Young Soloists Competition
'Great flair, polish and panache'
