September 10, 2024Unbelievably Talented!!!
We hired Pia to perform at our Country Club for Mother's Day and our Membership LOVED her. Pia is so extremely talented and her vocals are angelic. As a vendor she was punctual and professional. She is truly worth every penny as she elevated our entire event with her performance. We look forward to welcoming her back for many more performances in the future!

September 19, 2017Beautiful harp and guitar performance at our special event
Pia Salvia's is not only a talented harpist and guitarist with a beautiful voice and spirit, but she also is a pleasure to work with. She made planning easy from working with us to select the music; to coordination with the venue, and with her timely and clear communication regarding all details in advance.
Her solo performance began with background jazz style harp music during the brunch followed by several 60's folk/rock songs with vocals on harp and guitar that I had selected for the occasion. I provided a list of some of my top choices and Pia recommended the songs from the list that would make the best arrangements which she prepared especially for our event. I knew my crowd would want to sing along to several of the songs and she was totally amenable to our chiming in and gracious about sharing the harmonies with us.
I highly recommend hiring Pia Salvia to make your event memorable and extra special!

About
Award-winning Belgian harpist and vocalist Pia Salvia is a unique artist in the world of modern harp.
She had been playing the harp for over 20 years and has dedicated her life to changing the function of the harp in music. Salvia is one of the first artists to incorporate the classical harp in various styles of music outside of the classical tradition. She composes, arranges and performs original compositions that feature the harp in different settings and styles of music.
After graduating summa cum laude from Berklee College of Music, she moved to NYC for several years and recently relocated to Los Angeles. Salvia has travelled the world, exploring different musical traditions and infusing elements from those diverse genres into the world of the harp which creates a new sound unlike anything heard before. Her original music merges elements of Jazz, Pop and World Music. She was invited to perform in numerous festivals and venus such as the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles; Festival Mundial del Arpa in Paraguay; Vancouver Island Music Fest in Canada; Festival Internacional Arpa Sentmenat in Spain, Encuentro International Maestros del Arpa in Colombia, Boston Harp Festival in the USA and Gaume Jazz Festival in Belgium, to name a few.
Her artistry has also led her to share the stage with legendary musicians and renowned artists such as Stevie Wonder, George Benson, Chanté Moore, Aloe Blacc, Lizz Wright, Alex Isley, and Kings Return.
Now based in Los Angeles, Pia continues to explore the limitless possibilities of the harp, captivating audiences with her original compositions and genre-blending sound.
She will make your special day unique and unforgettable.

Influences and inspiration

Setup requirements
To define together
If event is outdoors, plan a firm, flat, dry and level surface.
In the event of an outdoor performance, since the harp is a fragile and expensive instrument, a location in the shade, as well as a dry, flat, level and firm surface should be provided for the harp. The harp may under no circumstances be exposed to temper
