The Boston HarpBeat

We absolutely loved the Boston Harpbeat! The harp, violin, and bass blended so beautifully. Thank you to Shelly and team for making our evening feel so special!

Boston HarpBeat was just what our event needed to add life to our event. Shelley was communicative, timely, professional, and overall lovely to work with. Highly recommend and hope to hire again in the future!

Shelley and her musicians were AMAZING to work with leading up to the event as well as on the day! They opened our deck series and it was chilly but they had an amazing, can do attitude and crushed it! I would highly recommend them any day in all scenarios. Fabulous from start to finish!

My first experience with Boston HarpBeat was a wonderful video that percussionist Fabio Pirozzolo and harpist Shelley Otis produced for the Friends of the Robbins Library during the Covid-19 pandemic. The duo had been scheduled to perform for our Sunday afternoon Reading Room Concert Series at the Library, but rather than disappoint our audience, we were able to stream their video instead. Ever since then I have wanted to have them back for a live performance and was thrilled to be able to book not just Fabio and Shelley, but the entire quartet including violinist Cami Sylvia and bassist Richard Gates. What an amazingly talented ensemble! Their music was a delightful blend of traditional pieces from different periods and cultures, with creative covers (Taylor Swift!) and original compositions. They mixed instrumentals and vocals, fast-paced and melodic to keep the audience of all ages completely enthralled. We can’t wait to have them back!

Shelley Otis and her group provided the most beautiful and serene experience for our gala of more than 300 people. The touch of elegance added immensely to our event. Shelley was so easy to work with, accommodating and gracious. I recommend this group without hesitation!!!! Outstanding.
