Harpists

I have worked as a professional harpist for 20 years and played events all over Germany and the US. I specialize in weddings, receptions, corporate functions, gallery exhibit openings, private parties, graduations and funerals.

My major repertoire is classical music, but also Broadway, Musical and Popular songs.

I perform harp solo and in ensembles, such as Duo, Trio and Quartett along with flute, violine and cello. For bigger events I am using a battery operated amplifier.
