The ninth annual Harp on Wight International Festival on the Isle of Wight will feature Catrin Finch, a former official harpist to Charles III when he was Prince of Wales.
This year's Harp on Wight in Ryde will run from October 28 to November 1.
The closing concert will be a highlight, as it features Catrin Finch - arguably the UK's most well-known harpist.
Catrin was appointed the official harpist to HRH The Prince of Wales (now King Charles III) when the post was revived in 2000 and she held the position until 2004.
Catrin's concert at the festival will feature some of the music that has been the most important to her during her distinguished career.
Another leading Welsh harpist - Eira Lynn Jones - is performing in the opening concert with the Labyrinth Harp Ensemble.
As she did in 2020, when it proved very popular, Eira will also be teaching an ensemble workshop during the festival which will also lead to a further concert on the afternoon of October 30.
Tristan Le Govic from Brittany, Aisling Lyons from Ireland and Flamenco harpist Ana Crisman from Spain are also among those performing and teaching at the event.
LISTEN: To Tristan Le Govic play!
All concerts and workshops are taking place in Ryde Methodist Church in Garfield Road in Ryde where - as in previous years - there will be a free to enter daytime exhibition of harps made by national manufacturers together with other musical instruments and sheet music.
