Chamber Music & Harp Ensemble Repertoire

Harp with Other Instruments

In addition to most popular songs (check with me for specifics, as not all songs work well with all combinations of instruments), the classical pieces listed here can be selected when you have a chamber group booked for your event. The repertoire below is available for these duets, trios, and larger ensembles:

• Harp & Violin Duet
• Harp & Flute Duet
• Harp & Trumpet Duet
• Harp, Violin, & Cello Trio
• Harp, Flute, & Violin Trio
• Harp, Flute, & Cello Trio
• Harp, Flute, Violin, & Cello Quartet
• Harp & String Quartet

If you have a different combination of instruments booked (for example, Harp & Marimba or Harp & Piano), I will send you a repertoire list particular to those instruments. The repertoire list for multiple-harp ensembles is at the bottom of this page.
