Anneleen Lenaerts

Biography (read more)

Anneleen Lenaerts is a Belgian harpist born 26 April 1987 in Peer, Belgium, who rose through international harp competitions, winning twenty-three prizes between 1997 and 2009, including first prize at the Grand Prix International Lily Laskine in 2005 and a prizewinner’s award and Audience Prize at the ARD International Music Competition in Munich. In December 2010 she was appointed principal harpist of the Vienna Philharmonic, one of the most prominent positions available to an orchestral harpist.

Alongside her orchestral role, Lenaerts has built an active solo and chamber career, performing with orchestras including the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg. Her Warner Classics recordings include the 2021 solo album Vienna Stories and a disc of Nino Rota’s works for harp made with flutist Emmanuel Pahud and the Brussels Philharmonic, which won an Opus Klassik award in 2019. She continues to expand the visibility of the harp as a solo instrument through her recordings and international appearances.
