She is well known from her YouTube videos, where she has covered classical, pop, rock, film and video game music.

ELEANOR DUNSDON, WAN XING & GREGOR BLACK
A journey of cross-cultural improvisation, Hong Kong-based Guzheng player, Wan Xing, teams up with harpist, Eleanor Dunsdon, and percussionist/bodhrán player, Gregor Black, combining their distinct musical backgrounds to create a unique new sound. The trio met in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2023, during the Silkroad Ensemble's Global Musician Workshop. They performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2025, premiering their debut album, ‘Waves of Tradition’. Exploring the trio’s Chinese-Scottish crossover, their programme highlights the relationships between these instruments and cultures, as well as featuring the premiere of a new commission for the trio by internationally acclaimed harpist and composer, Maeve Gilchrist.
