A beautiful and touching performance.

Amy played the harp at my mother's committal service at Miramar. She and I chose the songs to be played, and Amy coordinated with our chaplain. Friends and family were greeted with her music as they arrived. 'Fallen' (Helen Jane Long) was the featured song during the ceremony, and Amy gave a stunning and touching performance. 'Amazing Grace' brought us all to tears. I appreciate not only Amy's skill, but her attentiveness to detail and commitment to making the day go smoothly at this difficult time. I am so glad I chose Amy.

Hello Sandra,
Thank you so much for your lovely review; I am very touched by what you wrote, and it was an honor to meet you and to play at your mother's committal service. I will always remember that day, and the warm welcome I felt from you, and your family and friends.

Excellent choice!

Amy was a pleasure to have at my mom’s 85th birthday party. She was easy to communicate with, very clear about what she needed on the day of the event, showed up on time and was excellent harpest. She was accommodating to our requests and I heard many compliments from our guests. I would definitely use her again for an event and I recommend her without any reservation

Easter celebration at a senior living community!

We had the pleasure of being able to book Amy for our Easter brunch celebration! Amy was a pleasure to work with, communication was easy, arrived early, and most importantly performed beautifully for our residents to enjoy during brunch. Amy was able to cater to our residents special requests, which is always an added bonus. If you're a senior living community I highly recommend you book Amy for your next celebration.

I am so happy that you were pleased with my harp music -- it was a pleasure and honor to meet you both, to be a part of your special day, and to share the magic of the harp with you!

Many thanks to you both again!

What to Expect

I am here to offer an unforgettable musical accompaniment to your special event.

I specialize in creating unique music programs for each client, and I am available to assist you in choosing just the right songs -- my goal is to exceed your expectations!

I wear beautiful, flowing attire, and you will find me to be not only professional, but also very easy and fun to work with -- playing the harp for you is my passion.

About

Add a touch of magic to your special event -- you and your guests will be delighted with the gorgeous sound of my Celtic harp.

I will create a unique music program designed especially for you.

Classically trained in piano since the age of 7, I fell in love with the Celtic harp over 20 years ago!

Since then, it has been my passion, and I perform for audiences across San Diego, whether for weddings, receptions and cocktail hours, birthdays and anniversaries, Celebrations of Life, private dinners, or corporate events.

I offer beautiful music from Classical -- Pachelbel "Canon", "Here Comes the Bride" to Celtic/Irish-- "Greensleeves", "Danny Boy", to Popular, including "All I Ask of You" (Phantom of the Opera), "A Thousand Years" (Twilight), "All of Me" (John Legend), "Just the Way You Are" (Bruno Mars), "Stairway to Heaven" and even the Beatles. My repertoire also includes Spanish and Israeli melodies.

I am also a composer and recording artist, with my CD, "Garden of Delights" which soothes and refreshes the soul.

As a graduate of the International Harp Therapy Course, I am trained to play therapeutic harp in settings from hospitals and hospice, to outpatient settings, and even workplaces to relax the staff.

Additional Booking Notes

I bring my own chair and music stand. If at all possible, an umbrella for shade would be ideal.
