Joanna Rose - Harpist/Pianist/Vocalist

I will be early & prepared. Making sure the event planner keeps their peace of mind is very important to me. I am self sufficient, and will not be an imposition on the event.

I began performing professionally at age 13, securing my first paid harp performance for the Lower Cape Fear Hospice Memorial Love Lights Ceremony. December 2018 was my fifth consecutive callback. By age 16, I performed my first wedding ceremony. I have since continued to perform at events across the region, building long-term client relationships through high-quality performance.

It is important that I have a picture of where I will be playing. If I am outside, I have to make sure the conditions are right for the harp; shade is optimal. Whether or not I am amped is often decided by the event planner.
