Beatrice Harrison (1892 1965) was a British cellist. She was active in the first half of the
20th century. Beatrice Harrison's performances became well known through broadcast in the
early days of BBC sound radio. One night in 1924 when Beatrice was playing her cello in her
garden at Oxted, she heard a bird echo her playing. She started again, and the bird sang with
her. The sound was so beautiful, and she knew it was a nightingale. Surprisingly, the next
nights after that, the nightingale was there again, and Beatrice played duets with the wild
bird. It was so nice: she wanted to share her pleasure with other people. She decided to
persuade the BBC to set up their microphones in the garden. After some time, they were able
to record the tune. These records became successful and very popular in the 1930s.
