Osian Ellis, a name synonymous with the classical harp in the twentieth century, has established himself not just as a preeminent harpist but also as a composer and arranger whose contributions have significantly enriched the classical music landscape. Born in Wales, Ellis's musical journey is deeply rooted in his Welsh heritage, a fact that seamlessly blends into his extensive body of work, often characterized by a distinctive blend of traditional Welsh music with classical forms.

His discography, encompassing releases like "Crefft Unigryw Osian Ellis/The Unique Art of Osian Ellis" and "Clymau Cytgerdd / Diversions," showcases his versatility and mastery over the harp, while participation in performances such as "Live in Concert - Osian Ellis and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center" highlights his acclaim in the international music scene. Ellis's ability to traverse through different eras, as evident from his renditions of "17th & 18th-Century Harp Music" to "19th and 20th-Century Harp Music," alongside his definitive performances of works by Handel and Mozart, underline his profound influence on the harp repertoire. Moreover, his collaborations on projects like "Martin: Orchestral, Choral & Vocal Works" demonstrate his keenness for exploring and presenting the harp within varied musical contexts, cementing his legacy as a pioneering figure in the classical music domain.
