Duo Tânwen - Ruby Howells (flute) and Bonnie Scott (harp)

Duo Tânwen
Duo Tânwen is formed of Ruby Howells (flute) and Bonnie Scott (harp), and was created in 2020, during their 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. They also enjoy programming music by Welsh composers, in honour of their joint Welsh heritage — and this connection was key in choosing their ensemble name.
Duo Tânwen have performed in venues such as Regent Hall, Holy Sepulchre Church, Kenwood House, and Petworth House, and most notably in the presence of HM The Queen and HRH The Princess Royal. The duo have also performed on several occasions at Ely Arts Festival for both their summer and winter editions, and have a particularly strong presence in the East of England and the South East; Duo Tânwen are fast establishing themselves as an in-demand chamber duo for both public recitals and private engagements, with upcoming bookings including the Bloomsbury Festival, and further afield at the Adbaston Community Concert Society in Staffordshire. Ruby & Bonnie are also looking forward to making their debut at Wigmore Hall in 2027 as part of the For Crying Out Loud! series.
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 1 million views across channels.
