Harp and Violin Wedding Duet in Northern Indiana
Although most of my weddings choose solo harp, there are a handful each year that opt for a larger ensemble. The harp and violin duet is certainly the most popular, and for good reason! With the harp taking the harmony, the violin can create soaring, sustained melodies alongside the harp’s tonal texture. It’s a beautiful […]
Indianapolis Harpist {Wedding at Finley Creek}
This was scheduled to be my first outdoor wedding of the year, held at Finley Creek Vineyards in Zionsville. Unfortunately, the weather had other plans!

Orchestral Harpist with the Sangamon Valley Civic Orchestra
My freelance performing schedule doesn’t permit me to participate in an orchestra regularly, but the slower season in February worked out for a night of playing harp parts for some well-known operatic love songs and symphonic pieces!
