Recognised for her captivating artistry and international presence, Katie Lo is an award-winning harpist, educator, and creative entrepreneur. She has performed in recitals, orchestral concerts, and musical events across Hong Kong, London, Singapore, Korea, Australia, and the United States.

​

Katie began learning the harp at the age of nine under the guidance of Dan Yu. Her accolades include Gold Medal at the 3rd Hong Kong Harp Competition, First Prize at the 7th French International Harp Competition, and Second Prize at the 5th USA Young Artist’s Harp Competition. In 2025, she was awarded the Royal Academy of Music Harp Prize.

As an orchestral musician, she has performed with ensembles including the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Hong Kong Symphonic Winds, Ponte London Orchestra, and the Royal Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Brass.

​

In 2018, Katie founded Aspire Charity Harp Foundation with a vision to make harp music more accessible and impactful within the community. What began as a charitable initiative has since evolved into two distinct branches:
Aspire Harp Charity Foundation, dedicated to community outreach, fundraising concerts, and NGO partnerships; and
Aspire Harp & Music, the professional arm providing bespoke harp performances for luxury events, personalised teaching, and in-house workshops.

Through Aspire’s initiatives, over HKD $700,000 has been raised for charitable causes, alongside numerous community workshops and collaborations with organisations such as Playright, St. James Settlement, and HK Rehabilitation Power.

​

Katie holds a Master’s degree in Harp Performance with Distinction from the Royal Academy of Music in London, supported by the Hong Kong Scholarship for Excellence Scheme. She previously graduated with First Class Honours from the University of Hong Kong, double majoring in International Business & Global Management and Music.

Beyond her work as a harpist and educator, Katie is also a content creator, where she documents her journey of personal growth — navigating creativity, ambition, discipline, and life transitions. Through digital storytelling, she shares an honest perspective on building a purposeful and evolving life, both on and off the stage.
