Harpist

Colchester

Public liability insurance of £10 million

I am a competition winning harpist, featured on the World Harp Congress Spectrum and 2nd place at the Midwest Solos. I studied in the US with symphony harpists Mary Bircher and Katie Wychulis, and master harpist Heidi Lehwalder. I am now back in the UK taking gigs, ready to share the beauty of the harp. I have a gorgeous Lyon and Healy pedal harp with gold leaves and crown, perfect to add a touch of class to your event. I get a lot of requests for video game music arrangements and classical but can play music for any occasion. Improv is my speciality. I am proffesional, well-dressed and accommodating of most requests. I look forward to playing for you, and making your event an occasion to remember.

It was a pleasure to play at Lisa's event. I was pleasantly surprised to find my dress colour matched the baloons perfectly! Thank you so much for the positive review and also the precise and timely communication in the run up to the party date.

I need approximately 40 minutes to unload the harp, set up, get the strings tuned and settled.
