Arabesque

Elegant and attractive Flute & Harp Duo

Catrin Morris Jones and Sarah de Bats met while studying at the Royal Academy of Music and formed Arabesque shortly after graduating in 1994. Since then both girls have gone on to play with many of this country’s leading orchestras, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia, the English Chamber Orchestra and the Hallé Orchestra, as well as appearing overseas with many of the renowned international orchestras.

Arabesque has performed in recitals, weddings, birthday parties and corporate events across the UK, as well as on cruise liners. Catrin and Sarah have played at many historic and prestigious venues including Banqueting House in Whitehall, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Kensington Palace, Leeds Castle, Romsey Abbey and Goodwood House.
