Harpist Naomi Alter
Overview
A graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music, I would be delighted to perform your choice of heavenly wedding ceremony or elegant party music. Unlike other harpists, I also perform vocal numbers with harp accompaniment. Amplified harp provides full sound, even outdoors. Instrumental, vocal, traditional, classical or modern music are available, designed to reflect your individual taste in music. I look forward to providing elegance and sparkle for your special event. In your time of need, I can also provide funeral music. Since 1987, I have been performing at thousands of weddings and special events and teaching in the San Diego area and I look forward to working with you!

April 24, 2022AWESOME!! My guests were in awe of her.
From the start, it was clear that Naomi has a passion for music. She is extraordinarily talented both with her harp and her angelic singing voice. Further, she was such a professional and had many suggestions to help us plan the perfect wedding for us. We are so lucky to have found her. Don't miss out! Schedule her for your wedding immediately.p

April 6, 2024A highlight of our wedding day!
It was so special to have Naomi play for our wedding day. Having a harpist play is a special family tradition, so it meant a lot to have her there. Her music is beautiful - so many of our guests came to tell us how much they enjoyed it. Naomi was lovely to work with - so professional and kind.

Naomi was amazing! The residents, their guest and our staff were all highly impressed and enjoyed the beautiful music as Naomi created with her Harp. Naomi, had a wonderful selection on songs, and even played a little extra after her time. We will definitely be having Naomi return for more future events. Thank you, Naomi!!
