Babett Niclas

Babett Niclas studied harp at the Musikhochschule Leipzig with Ursula Heins. During a study stay in Glasgow at the Roayale Conservatoire she studied with Pippa Tunnel and Sharon Griffiths (classcial harp) and Heather Downie (scottish harp). Before she graduaded with a Staatsexamen (master) in Music, german studies and paedagogy, did her teaching degree in composition/hearing education and was a student of improvisation with Tilo Augsten. Since last year Babett also plays a baroque triple harp. In addition to solo appearances, the harpist regularly plays in various orchestras and is particularly interested in chamber music. With the traversflutist Barnabas Herrmann she founded the duo FLAUTH, in which they experimentally dedicate themselves to folklore from Northwest and Southeast Europe. Besides the folk duo Trelva she also plays in the baroque formation La Moresca and also with Combo CAM Babett Niclas dedicates herself to her great love - early music. Babett Niclas is a sought-after harpist for musical projects outside the classical mainstream, in which she can contribute her solo and chamber music skills and her broad musical understanding.
