Introduction: I am a full time professional harpist and I perform throughout the Northeast, in person and virtually. I play a wide variety of music including classical favorites, contemporary songs and covers, standards, love songs, Broadway and Disney tunes, Celtic music, and more. I am a graduate of Juilliard, where I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Harp Performance. I work regularly as a soloist and also with many wonderful musicians - violin, cello, flute, singers and more - playing in duos and trios and larger ensembles.
I was presented in my New York Debut in Carnegie Recital Hall as a winner of the Artists International Competition. I have appeared in concert throughout America, performed at the World Harp Congress in France, played for Queen Sirikit of Thailand, the Prime Minister of Ireland and other dignitaries and celebrities. I am the principal harpist with the Norwalk and Ridgefield Symphonies in Connecticut and the Westchester Chamber Soloists in New York. I have a CD "Sounds of the Seine" with flutist Donna Milanovich, on the Delos International label. I am also a founding member of the Irish music group Themselves, and the harp duo A Two of Harps.
In addition to concert appearances, I have provided music for many weddings and for private and business functions. My clients have included Yale University; People’s Bank; Saks, and the JF Kennedy Memorial Library in Boston. I have appeared recently at the Metropolitan Club in New York City; the Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Greenwich, Wheatleigh in Lenox, MA and the Southwest Harbor Golf Club on Mt. Desert Island, Maine, and many other leading locations throughout Connecticut, Westchester, New York City and beyond.
I have the experience and connections to make the music for your special day truly magical.
I love sharing the harp and passing on the wonderful training that I received with harp and theory students of all ages from young children through adults. My studio is in South Wilton, and it is very convenient to all the area highways, and my students come from all over Fairfield County and Westchester County, too. I also teach lessons online and I have student harps you can rent to get started. I can share my performances and my wealth of music experiences with you. I also have numerous opportunities for students to perform. I am an Adjunct Professor of Harp at Sacred Heart University and the principal harpist in three orchestras, and I also play regularly with chamber groups and for special occasions. I can also arrange other musicians for special events from my extensive network of wonderful artists! I hope we can work together!
I love the majestic look and sound of the harp! People find it fascinating, and I love to share it with people at all types of events, in concerts, and with harp and theory students, too.
It is also a wonderful privilege to be a part of the special moments in the lives of my clients - weddings and anniversaries, birthdays, christenings, and memorial services, too. I love how the harp and my music add something unique to the day. I specialize in making the music fit the occasion, and each client's taste - whether it is beautiful classical melodies, pop covers, an all Celtic program, or another request. For me these occasions are never just a "gig" but very special and important.
