Stephanie studied harp performance under Kathy Kienzle (principle harpist of the Minnesota Orchestra) and specializes primarily in Renaissance and Celtic harp music. She also runs a private studio from her St. Paul home.
We love Stephanie!
Stephanie was everything we could have hoped for - and more. She played for our wedding ceremony, and was so easy to work with. She had us over for a "mini concert", where she showed us what/how she played, and we were instantly in love. She could play anything, it seemed - we had a list of songs we wanted, and she nailed every single one of them!
On top of that, she looked beautiful at the wedding, and she arrived an hour early - it was obvious that she took this seriously, and yet she was so natural. All our guests keep asking us, "Who was that harpist??" Thank you Stephanie!!
