Vasudha Harte and Claire Alexandra share a love of Celtic, Baroque, Gypsy and all things whimsical, folky and fey.
Musical sweethearts of wood and strings who love to swoon and sway, Vasudha and Claire made their spontaneous debut together on the streets of Healesville after connecting at a local yoga class. They have since graduated to playing at private events, indoor halls and outdoor festivals.
This charming duet of harp and violin craft an elegant ambience with peaceful serenades and lilting songs. They also enjoy venturing into lively, fast and wild territory, creating merry moments of musical mayhem.
Vasudha may also add a splash of piano, accordion or guitar depending on the occasion.
With their sweet sounds, enchanting presence and wide variety of repertoire, Vasudha and Claire are a delightful inclusion at festivals, functions, gigs and weddings.
Did we mention we love gardens and roses?

Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.”
