Eliette Harris is a British violinist from Brighton. Eliette was honoured to study with Yossi Zivoni during her undergraduate and continued her studies with Krzysztof Śmietana at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where she held a scholarship. Eliette is grateful to receive scholarships from the Zetland Foundation, Westdene Trust, and RMNEF, and to play on a beautiful 1740 Calcanius violin kindly awarded to her by the Harrison Frank Family Foundation. 

Eliette is regularly invited to perform as a soloist, collaborating with a number of ensembles across the country. She was awarded 1st place in the 2023 Coro Nuovo Musician of the Year competition accompanied by pianist and duo partner Soo Hong Park.

Chamber music is an incredibly important part of her musical life, working across a number of different ensembles of like-minded musicians. She is a founding member of the Larisa Trio, with whom she has performed for 6 years, and joined the Resol Quartet as 1st Violin in 2023. Over the past year Eliette has been invited to premiere a new arrangement of Verklärte Nacht at the Schoenberg Centre in Vienna, perform as part of the Festival dei Giovani musicisti europei in Italy, and looks forward to embarking on a nationwide wide tour of the original piece ‘Discopia’ (a collaboration between the Larisa Trio, composer Devon Bonelli, and contemporary dance company, Excessive Human Collective). Eliette joined the Salome Quartet as guest 2nd violinist for a number of performances, including a recital at the Oxford Hollywell Music Room.  

Eliette is also an experienced orchestral musician, performing with a number of ensembles including the Hallé, BBC Philharmonic, Manchester Camerata, and London Mozart Players; as well as leading the Guildhall Symphony Orchestra during her time there.

Eliette feels very passionately about music education, having had the privilege of studying with incredible tutors she feels very indebted to. She teaches across a number of musical settings, most recently leading workshops in partnership with Wigmore Hall, working with both children and adults to help them develop their musical expression and identity.
