Hello! I'm Sarah, a harpist in the Orange County/LA areas, currently studying Harp Performance at USC. I would be so honored to play at your events, whether they be dinners, weddings, memorials, anything! Much of my repertoire is classical (and some jazz), but I may surprise you with a familiar pop song or even part of a movie/Broadway soundtrack. Please let me know if there are any special song requests, I would be happy to learn them for you with prior notice :)
I have 15 years of piano training/experience as well and would love to play for you, if that may suit your needs or event better!

Sarah Hsiao was absolutely incredible and helped make our wedding day so special! From the moment our guests arrived through the ceremony and processional, her beautiful harp music created such an elegant and magical atmosphere.
Sarah was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She was professional, friendly, accommodating, and played so many of the songs we had personally requested. Hearing songs that were meaningful to us played so beautifully on the harp made those moments even more special. Her talent truly showed in every piece she performed, and we received so many compliments on how beautiful the music was.
Having Sarah play at our wedding was one of those details that made the day feel truly unforgettable. She did an amazing job, and we are so grateful she was part of our celebration. We cannot recommend her highly enough for a wedding or any special event!

July 22, 2025We had the absolute pleasure of having Sarah Hsiao as our harpist for the pre-ceremony portion of our wedding at the Nixon Presidential Library on June 21, 2025.
From the moment we first connected with her, Sarah was professional, graceful, and kind, a joy to work with. She communicated clearly throughout the planning process, arrived on time, and carried herself with elegance.
Her music was beautiful and added a serene and enchanting atmosphere to our pre- ceremony space. She plays with heart and skill, several guests commented on how much they loved hearing the harp as they arrived.
Sarah is not only exceptionally talented but also such a kind and lovely person to work with. We would hire her again and again without hesitation and feel fortunate to have had her as part of our wedding day.

November 14, 2024She was compassionate, and very attentive to what I requested. She also allowed me to hire another musician and they played together. I can’t say enough about Sarah. She was amazing. I recommend her for any occasion.
