| Aquilae Flute and Harp
Duo specialise in concerto and recital performances, alongside interactive projects and workshops. Eleanor describes how the duo formed, early in 2008: "Lisa was introduced to me through our mutual friend and flautist, Jo Conquest. From our first few notes together, we just 'clicked' - both in musicianship and personality! Music is our first love and compelling passion in our lives." |

| "Lisa Nelsen's work has been known to me for ten years and I have had the great pleasure of writing for her as soloist as well as chamber performer. Her ability to combine the most exquisite singing tone with incisive attack is one of her great strengths." |

"Lisa has never failed to completely impress audiences and her musician colleagues with her performances. Her playing is full of colour and line, technically masterful, stylish and completely assured. She searches out nuances and meanings and brings them to the fore expressively and subtly for the ear to appreciate." |
