About Me

I've played the harp since 1990. I've studied with harp teachers and have a bachelor's degree in music, and I use the French style hand position. I'm influenced by classical and modern composers, world music, Celtic music, medieval music, electronic music, rock music. Looking for harp at your wedding? Go to my web site, there's lots of wedding information there! I'm a member of the American Harp Society as well as the International Society of Folk Harpers and Craftsman. I've performed at Fall River First Night, New Bedford AHA! Night, The Irish Connections Festival, weddings and cocktail parties.
