Barbara Fischer (Fischarper, LLC)

Expect Barbara to arrive timely and professionally and practically dressed with an elegant setting-appropriate harp and a smiling face! (If looking for a Celtic-style harp, please be sure to request it. ☘️)

At this time, my services are focused on beautiful acoustic, unamplified music. However, if your event is at a venue that provides amplification, I am happy to discuss working with an amplification team that is already in place.

If you have any questions, please message me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Southwest Florida harpist Barbara Fischer has no memory of a home without a harp. Her primary teachers have included Mary Johnson, Laura Elder, and Elizabeth Lilly. Barbara’s playing is largely inspired by her mother, Bambi Fischer (thank you mom!) and gospel harpist Linda Rice. She has earned superior ratings in competitions, even before beginning formal study. Through her collegiate studies, Barbara has had the opportunity to play under renowned composer, conductor and clinician Dr. David R. Holsinger.

Barbara gigs at various events such as weddings, dinners, and church services. She has played at such venues as The Registry Resort (Naples, Florida), The Ritz-Carlton (Naples, Florida), and The Westin Resort (Cape Coral, Florida). She is available for indoor and outdoor events. (Looking for a Celtic-style harp for your event? Please be sure to request it.)
