You may not get a chance to see Meriel on horseback riding through the Molonglo valley (blink and you will miss her – fast as lightning!), but you will undoubtedly see Meriel perform in concert halls around Australia on harp and piano. Unfortunately, Meriel hasn’t yet worked out how to marry her two passions – equestrian sports and performance. We are working on it, however, and when we finish our saddle-mounted harp prototype we will let you all know! Since returning to Canberra in 2006 after a decade in the USA (where she performed across America and completed a Master of Theology), Meriel has performed with pretty much every Symphony Orchestra in Australia, and maintains a busy schedule as a freelance harpist. Since pianos are a little too tricky to pack in the Grus (the Griffyn Bus), Meriel will usually be seen on harp in a Griffyn concert. Meriel also has two beautiful children who are in-training for the Griffyn: Next Generation TV Series, with solo ukulele featured!
