Erin Newton

With thousands of hours of performance under her belt, Erin has shared her music with elementary schools, corporate groups, holiday gatherings, retirement homes, hospital waiting rooms, symphony groups, and various special events. She has been asked to return year after year for Mother's Day events, Christmas Eve gatherings, Valentines Day, Easter, and various other family gatherings. She loves interacting with the audience and leaving them with the light moving sounds of her full sized concert harp.

Erin Newton studied most recently with Courtney Hershey-Bress, Colorado Symphony Orchestra's principal harpist. She began her studies at six years old with Penny Beavers, California's pre-eminent modern composer, and continued in at Mount Holyoke College with Boston's classical harpist Felice Swados.

Erin has performed with orchestras throughout the Front Range, with the University of Colorado Summer Opera Series, served as principal harpist with the Steamboat Springs Orchestra, and was invited to perform with 8-time Grammy award winner, Kanye West. Currently she plays for the Brown Palace Hotel and specializes in wedding ceremonies in Vail, Beaver Creek, Keystone, and various mountain wedding settings.

Erin requires a 4 ft by 4 ft space and shelter from wind, sun, snow, and rain. If the performance space is large, she provides a battery powered amplifier. No electrical outlets are required.
