Thank you so much, Barbara! It was wonderful to play again for you, this time for your Christmas party in your beautiful home. I lost count of all the beautiful Christmas trees with their individual theme. How delightful! Happy New Year to you!

June 1, 2023Heavenly Harp
Ester preformed for a farewell Sunday brunch after our daughters wedding weekend celebration. She was so lovely and accommodating to work with; asking what music we’d like to hear if there was anything specific she should wear to match the decor. Hap music is always so elegant to listen to and certainly elevates the formality of any event you’d like to be just a bit extra special.
Ester was early setting up and was completely prepared when our guests arrived as well as flexible with changes and requests throughout the day. I would absolutely recommend Ester and the Elegant Harp for any occasion

About
THE ELEGANT HARP provides the perfect ambiance for your corporate and social events, without intruding on the conversation.
Harpists Esther and AnnaLisa Underhay have performed professionally on the Concert Stage and for countless Political, Corporate, Charity, and Social Events, including Weddings, in homes of millionaires and billionaires in South Florida, throughout the United States, Canada, Bahamas, and around the world, for over 25 years. They have many years' experience as a musician interacting with guests through long-term contracts, Esther as harpist at Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach, AnnaLisa at the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi, India, and both on Celebrity Cruises. They are equally comfortable interacting with people of all socioeconomic status, including Presidents, Royalty, celebrities, and the very wealthy.
With years of experience performing for elite guests, it is always in the role of an ambassador, recognizing lifetime customer value, therefore always striving to build brand loyalty through stellar performance. As an integral part of the whole, we work to give the guests an extraordinary experience that exceeds their expectations. Your/our reputation is only as good as the last experience, so we must always endeavor to make it a memory to last a lifetime.
Performing a broad spectrum of music:
From Rachmaninoff’s “Variation on a Theme by Paganini” to Beethoven's “Moonlight Sonata”
From Duke Ellington’s “Satin Doll” to The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby”
From Gypsy King's "Bamboleo" to Coldplay's “Clocks” or Bridgerton's "Strange".
Repertoire is carefully chosen to complement your event.
“Esther, you are one with your harp, you made love to your harp with your music, I was enthralled, it was the most beautiful I have ever heard!” Countess Henrietta de Hoernle following concert.
Whether a large extravagant wedding or a simple affair; in a cathedral, hotel ballroom, or outdoors, we work with the couple to choose just the right music. For the wedding cocktail hour or reception, we incorporate a mixture of favorite songs spanning three generations in order to make it meaningful to the wide range of ages represented. A Classically trained pianist, Esther is often asked to perform on the harp for the ceremony and then the piano for the cocktail hour. Destination weddings are very popular in South Florida. Whether the couple lives here or is flying in just in time for the wedding, we will assist them in ensuring the music is exactly what they have always dreamed of. Solo or duo harp, or with String Trio or Jazz Band, the music of the harp is sure to help create an unforgettable experience for your event!
