I perform all over NYC with improv jazz artist like Butch Morris, Baikida Carol, Dee Pop, and Daniel Carter.

Harps:

• Pedal Harp: my Concert Grand is a 47 string, full-size Orchestral pedal harp by Lyon and Healy. People always ask how much it cost–right now it would cost you $24,000 to purchase a similar instrument.

• Electric and Acoustic Celtic Harps: These harps are portable and best for beach weddings, outdoors and for intimate spaces. The Celtic harp I use is made in France and is truly beautiful. I can provide amplification if you are using these instruments for larger spaces.

• 26 String Harps: Perfect for a casual or semi formal wedding. Song selection is limited, but I can play standing up. I have used this harp with wonderful result in Central Park. I played a friend's wedding in the Cloister and it was one of the most heartfelt moments (I cried!)

Weddings

Ceremony: For wedding ceremonies I play at least 20 minutes of prelude, your march, the recessional after you have been pronounced man and wife and at least 15 minutes of postlude while your guests leave for the reception. I can play the songs for you over the phone so you get exactly what makes you feel special.

Cocktail Hour: I offer an upbeat mix of classical, popular, Celtic and Jazz standards and can add a special song to personalize your event.

Marching Harps: My students from the Irish Arts Center and I stroll with 26 string harps! If you are looking for an extravagant way to lead your guest from the ceremony to the reception or to greet them at the steps of the church, this is it!

I have played harp professionally in NYC for 15 years including high profile events for Vanity Fair magazine, Ports 1961, Shanghai Tang Haute Couture, and Deitch Art Gallery.

Recent performances include Dueling Harps performed at REDCAT at the Walt Disney Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles, Irish Music Concerts at the Irish Arts Center where I run the harp program, and the National Shakespeare Company production of Oedipus with Avery Brooks at the Herod Atticus Theatre in Athens, Greece.

Recent press includes the Los Angeles Times, Village Voice, Vogue and Artforum.

I love to play whether it's for models going down the runway in Shanghai, China or a bridal march when you march down the aisle.
