On time, prepared, and versatile.

Liana had perfect communication leading up to the event. After she arrived she had everything needed to plug into our system and immediately got to work. She was able to cater, on the fly, her playlist to fit as the event progressed. Once the predetermined time was up, she slipped out without any fanfare. So great!

Most Amazing Performance

Liana came early, she set up quickly, was prepared with music, and was friendly through out the event. The music was magical. Most guests were awed by the harp. She played by music list request. She read the room and knew when to pause and to play soft and when to play louder. I would recommend her and would request her again if I ever need a harpist.

Liana Alpino did a wonderful job for our event!

Liana played with great skill and beauty. In all ways she was very professional. She was dressed in a beautiful and appropriate style, came very early to set-up, was great about answering email communication before the event. Can't say enough good things about her.

About

Award-winning performer and composer Liana Alpino is one of Music City’s premier harpists. Equally at home playing in Nashville’s legendary live music scene, entertaining hundreds of guests at an upscale event, or performing on stage with one of the region’s symphony orchestras, she has carved a niche combining her classical training with her passion for creating new music.

Alpino’s versatility makes her an in-demand-artist in Nashville’s vibrant music culture. She has performed with Keith and Kristyn Getty, Kathy Mattea, ABBA’s original band members, and Roy “Futureman” Wooten. She’s also a regular with a number of professional orchestras, including the Paducah Symphony Orchestra and Orchestra Kentucky Bowling Green. In 2021, Alpino was a soloist with the Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra after winning the adult division of its concerto competition. Alpino has also shared her musical talents on screen, performing for Lifetime TV’s hit reality show Married at First Sight, and Nashville’s Channel 4 News program profiled her innovative neighborhood driveway concert series in 2020.

Best-known in the harp world for her thoughtful compositions and signature pop arrangements for the instrument, Alpino loves to expand the harp’s repertoire by writing new music for the instrument. She was a winner of the 2021 Atlanta Harp Center Composition Competition with an original work titled Sueño. You can watch a YouTube video of Alpino performing Sueño at Nashville’s famous Bluebird Cafe where she is also the music venue’s brand manager. Alpino is active on the local and national levels of the harp community. She is the president of the Nashville Chapter of the American Harp Society, and she was recently named editor of Harp Column Music, where she curates the digital music retailer’s collection of over 4,000 titles.

Alpino’s multi-faceted career is no accident. In 2015 she became the first harpist to graduate from Nashville’s Belmont University with a Bachelor of Music in Commercial Music, which she earned alongside a Bachelor of Business Administration in Music Business and a minor in Classical Harp Performance.

You can find Alpino on social media at the tongue-in-cheek handle @harpthrob and on the web at (link hidden).
