About
Iceland born Elísabet Waage, was mesmerized by the harp in her early years and her first harpstudies were at The Reykjavík College of Music in Iceland. She then studied with Edward Witsenburg at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague in The Netherlands, graduating with solo- and teacherdiplomas.
After working for some time in Holland she returned to Iceland in 2002. Since then her activites have included playing with the Caput Ensemble, the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Reykjavík Chamber Orchestra and the Graduale Nobili choir. She forms a violin-harp duo with Laufey Sigurðardóttir, a cello-harp duo with Gunnar Kvaran and a trio with soprano Björg Thórhallsdóttir and organist Hilmar Örn Agnarsson. Furthermore, Elísabet works with different chamber music groups, accompanies several choirs, plays at church ceremonies and gala parties as well as teaching the harp.
