She received her first cello lessons at the age of five. In 2000, she was accepted into the young talent class at the Utrechts Conservatorium, where she was taught by Lenian Benjamins. In 2004, Harriet moved to Vienna to study cello with Lilia Schulz-Bayrova and Jontscho Bayrov at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna. Since September 2013, Harriet has been studying as a "Young Soloist" at the Kronberg Academy with Frans Helmerson, a study made possible by the Casals Scholarship. She continues her artistic training with Schulz-Bayrova in Vienna in parallel. In 2019, she took over the cello part in the Artemis Quartet from founding member Eckart Runge. In addition to regular concerts and solo recitals in Vienna, Krijgh often plays in chamber music festivals, such as the Haydn Festival Eisenstadt, Diabelli Summer, St.Gallen, Trigonale and Hagen Open. In the Netherlands, she has given recitals in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, "de Doelen" Rotterdam and Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht. In 2011, Krijgh made a concert tour of Asia. She played a number of recitals in Korea and the Triple Concert and the Roccoco Variations in Vietnam. In 2012, Krijgh made her debut in the Konzerthaus Wien with the Haydn C and D concertos.
