What to Expect

What Bethany Provides For Your Special Event:

A Free Phone consultation to choose music and answer any questions you may have.
Bethany will show up early and have the harp ready and tuned in time for your event.

Bethany can play almost anything. If you would like a special requests please give her at least one weeks notice to find the and learn the music before your event.

Playing Conditions For The Harp: Due to its size and delicate nature, the harp requires certain environmental considerations to keep it safe and prevent damage. In general, about 5 or 6 square feet of space is needed.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Events
Outside: Bethany has played in many outdoor events and it is very possible. With a little thought, care, and pre-planning, having the harp at an outdoor event can be truly fabulous. Here are the main factors involved: (1) The harp will need to be on dry, level ground. If the ground is grass or gravel or something like that, I have some small rugs that can be placed under the harp to protect it from the ground itself. (2) The harp will need to be completely in the shade and protected from any potential precipitation. (3) The location for the harp needs to be accessible enough by vehicle that the harp doesn’t have to be carried or carted a very long way (this can be discussed). (4) Protection from heavy winds is also very helpful. (5) Extreme cold or heat will be difficult on the harp, and when the temperature gets below approximately 52 degrees fahrenheit it will make it virtually impossible for me to play as my hands will stiffen up and I won't be able to move my fingers well.

Inside: There are a few main considerations about playing inside: (1) Stairs – If there are a lot of stairs leading to the spot where you want the harp to be, she will need help carrying it up and down. Organ/choir lofts are particularly difficult, and if they can be avoided it’d be better; if they can't be avoided, Bethay will need two strong men to carefully carry the harp for me. (2) Heating / air-conditioning: Being too close to either of these can be very dangerous for the instrument, so it’s best to avoid it if we can. (3) Power sources:

Sound & Lighting
Bethany is prepared to play with or without amplification, depending on the situation we may need to mic the harp. Many venues have a microphone that we can use. If the venue does not provide this Bethany can bring her own equipment but please note that this may be an additional charge. Please also let me know if there will be low lighting so that I can be prepared with a stand light.
