What to expect
Harp is both elegant and beautiful. It's music gives a feeling of class, regality and peace in traditional settings like churches, weddings and funerals. The harp can also play contemporary music, which I often do in restaurants and corporate events. Private dinner parties and romantic settings are perfect places that I love to play. The harp is soft enough to not be intrusive but bold enough to set the tone for an unforgettable evening.
I am organized and make the entire hiring, planning and payment part of your journey streamlined and simple. I work with each client to see their musical vision to fruition.
About
Classically trained as a pianist, I then studied harp just after university. I have been performing throughout Michigan, Chicago and Canada for the past twenty years. I have been fortunate enough to perform with many, local talented musicians as well as musicians from the UK. In the past five years, I have released two albums, first a Celtic, the second Classical. Both are available on iTunes. I teach harp in my studio, Michigan Conservatory. When I'm not working as a soloist, I also perform with Pebble Creek Orchestra where I'm also a board member.
I compose music for podcasts and for weddings.
Additional booking notes
My harp is equipped with an internal pick up that plugs into any amplifier or in house system.
