 Every bride deserves to have a wonderful wedding full of magic and romance. The
music of one of the most beautiful instruments on earth can bring added splendor
to this special day, with images of angels and mermaids, myths and fairytales.
This harpist understands how
important it is to have just the right atmosphere on your special day. She can
provide a wide variety of music and styles to match your requirements and will
talk with you about exactly what you would like for your wedding. Her
repertoire link gives details of some of the music she has played at previous
events but it is not an exhaustive list. If your favourite piece is not included
here, it may still be in her repertoire, and if not she is often able to learn
new music on request.
Whether you are planning a civil or church ceremony the harp makes the perfect
accompaniment. You could consider background music while your guests are
arriving, something more individual during the signing of the register and
another selection while the guests are leaving. You could also have music during
the reception while friends and family mingle and dine. The harp suits any
venue being equally at home in a church, private house, hotel, marquee or
garden.
But that’s not all this harpist
has to offer. Why not balance the beauty of the harp with the brilliance of a
trumpet fanfare for the entrance of the bride or the departure of the bride and
groom? She plays both modern and baroque trumpet, and is happy to combine her
talents for your wedding. There are many magnificent pieces that can be used
with or without organ accompaniment and which make majestic alternatives to the
more traditional bridal marches .
This harpist started playing
the harp and the trumpet when she was eight, and is now highly accomplished on
both instruments. She has been playing both instruments at weddings and dinners
for the last six years, and has an extensive repertoire of solo music.
She is also an accomplished
ensemble instrumentalist, who has played her harp in a wide range of groups in
London, Cambridge and Buckinghamshire. Performances have included works by
composers such as Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Saint-Saëns, Wagner and Vaughan
Williams, and she particularly enjoyed the challenges of Britten’s Nocturne,
The Turn of the Screw and A Ceremony of Carols. She has worked on
original incidental harp music with Howard Williams and Robin Holloway,
performing the latter’s Nausikaa in open air theatres in Ravenna and
Tuscany.
Harpist SW15
has studied the harp with the internationally renowned harpists Gabriella
Dall’Olio, Head of Harp at Trinity College of Music, and Catherine White of the
Birmingham Conservatoire and natural trumpet with John Hutchins of the Royal
Academy of Music.
This harpist is based on the
border between Devon and Cornwall, but she performs all across the South West.
She is available for weddings, funerals, dinners, and corporate and other
events. |
