For sheer physical wizardry at the keyboard, Harvey reigned supreme. Her fingers know few fears. And the quality of mind she brings to bear on some of the toughest music assignments imaginable, enables her to make even the most dauntingly complex material meaningful and accessible. This is a rare gift.
— Neville Cohn, the West Australian newspaper (Keyed-Up Review)

Performing is what I enjoy most. 

In the practice room, I enjoy the isolation, the drilling down into detail, and the many moments of musical awakening that happen in this private space.

My other passion is working closely with contemporary composers in a collaborative spirit during their creative process whilst conceiving new compositions. 

I offer my skills as an interpreter and my extensive performance experience to bring their music to audiences around the world.
