I play parties (holiday, birthday, cocktail, anniversary, retirement, garden); corporate events and conventions; retirement communities, nursing care centers, and hospital openings; luncheons, teas, dinners; memorial services; women's clubs; school assemblies, museums, and libraries; and city hall events, country clubs, hotels, restaurants, wineries, and churches. I perform popular musical/movie themes from (phone number hidden)0; meditational nature pieces; holidays: Christmas/ Hanukkah, Valentine's, Mother's Day, Flag Day; multi-ethnic including Celtic and Asian; outer space themed programs; a musical history of America.

Adele created a beautiful atmosphere with her melodic playing. Our residents and guests enjoyed her music greatly as they dined and spent time with their loved ones.

October 14, 2023Very talented, professional artist
I really couldn't have been happier. She set up and took down seamlessly, communicated clearly, and her music was gorgeous. It was a perfect addition to our event and I'd invite her again. 💜

Thank you so much, Stevie! I enjoyed playing for your event (despite the fact that someone had totaled my parked van so we had to transport the harp and gear in my audio guy's open truck bed!) I've already thought of a program you'd like for next year: "A Space Odyssey" (a piece for each solar system object. After my teaching career, I volunteered and taught a musical space science class at Chabot Space & Science Museum. Thank you for your fantastic review! I hope the rest of your conference went well!

May 17, 2023Amazing!
We recently had the pleasure of hiring Adele to add a touch of elegance and enchantment to a milestone celebration—a 40th birthday party. It was an exceptional decision that elevated the ambiance of the event and left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. Her remarkable talent, versatile repertoire, and warm personality brought an air of elegance, sophistication, and joy to the occasion. It was an experience that will be fondly remembered by both the celebrant and all those fortunate enough to be in attendance.

Oh, thank you so much, Sarah, for the extremely flattering review! I'm very glad that you and your friends were pleased! The alcove was a perfect and beautiful location for my harp. The hostess and other guests were lovely to offer us food and drink and several people helped take gear to my car.

December 8, 2021Adele is a wonderful professional!
Adele played in our backyard and was not only a wonderful harpist but also a delight to work with. During these Covid times, we all adjust to keep everyone safe, and she rose to the occasion, as it was a bit chilly outside. Brought such a warm spirit to my event. Thank you!
