The Artists

Duo Tânwen is formed of Ruby Howells (flute) and Bonnie Scott (harp), and was created in 2020, during the first year of their undergraduate studies at the Royal Academy of Music. The duo, who have known each other since early childhood, have a particular passion for performing works by female, underrepresented and global majority composers.

Duo Tânwen have performed in venues such as Regent Hall, Kenwood House and Senate House, and most notably in the presence of HM The Queen and HRH The Princess Royal. The duo has also performed on several occasions at Ely Arts Festival for both their summer and winter editions and have a strong presence in the East of England and the Southeast. Duo Tânwen are fast establishing themselves as an in-demand chamber duo for both public recitals and private engagements. Ruby and Bonnie are looking forward to making their debut at Wigmore Hall in 2026 as part of the For Crying Out Loud! series and hugely enjoy community participation work.

Online, the pair have received recognition and support on social media from stars such as RAYE and Anna Lapwood, as well as by BBC Radio 3, and are beginning to grow a strong community on both Instagram and TikTok where they have amassed over one million views across channels.
