Campaign idea: Holli is recording her harp album
Holli once hid behind her harp when feeling shy. Now she is a professional harpist recording an album.
This story
Holli started playing the harp at nine and was diagnosed with autism in 2014, often finding it hard to fit in at school or speak up in standard orchestras. Joining an inclusive youth orchestra in 2018 gave her the relaxed pace and confidence to develop as an autistic musician. She has since performed on screen and is currently finishing her music degree while recording an album of contemporary pieces composed by women.
