May 11, 2026Anya played the harp for our school’s annual gala. She was wonderful to work with. My communication with her before the gala was very good. She was able to tailor the musical program to suit the theme of our event. She arrived promptly to set up before the gala and her playing was beautiful. I would hire her again.

December 1, 2025We hired her for my daughter 1st birthday, and she was truly the highlight of the event. Her music created such a beautiful, elegant atmosphere. Our guests were blown away, and many said they’d never experienced anything like it at a birthday 🎶✨
She was professional, punctual, and so easy to work with. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Her performance added a magical touch that made the whole day feel extra special.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their event. Thank you again for making our celebration unforgettable! 🙏💫

Hi! I’m Anya Pasowicz, a professional harpist based on the Northwest Side of Chicago. I’m currently working on my Master’s in Harp Performance at Northern Illinois University, and I’ve been gigging for about four years now.
Harp is truly my passion! I love getting to share its unique sound at weddings, parties, and all kinds of events. I’ve played in a wide variety of settings, from professional orchestras and chamber groups to more unexpected combos like steelband! My repertoire is super flexible and includes everything from classical and folk to pop and romantic favorites.
Whether you’re looking for background music or a special feature for your event, I’d love to help make it beautiful and memorable.
