The Legal Harpist

I am a harpist and soon-to-be legal aid attorney whose passion for music and justice inspires my creative process. I have diverse playing experiences spanning across my career as a harpist. I began playing harp at the age of 8. At the age of 9, I was invited to participate in Jocelyn Chang’s Harp Ensemble, a group of 12 talented harpist who played during the holiday season. I have also won awards at the Ohio Scottish Games. At Smith College, I played in Orchestra for the performance of Swan Lake, Wind Ensemble and the Celtic Ensemble known as the Wailing Banshees. I am always excited for new opportunities to share my passion for harp music!

As a musician, I have an appreciation for all styles and genres of music. I have experience playing not only classical music, but also Celtic, Folk and Pop. I am always willing to expand my repertoire and learn new pieces and genres of music.

I will be bring my 6 foot tall, 80 pound semi-concert grand harp with me – please plan to place me in a space big enough to accommodate my instrument, my music stand and seat! :) I will also need a space to hide my harp case (which is bright blue and very bulky).

I play outdoor events. To prepare for having a harpist at an outdoor wedding, please make sure that I am in the shade. The strings of the harp will break if it is placed in direct sunlight. Please also ensure that there is an indoor venue option or that the harp is otherwise protected in the event of rain.

I usually arrive 30 to 45 minutes early to tune and set up.
