Upcoming Public Events
I had always thought of the harp as an elegant instrument. There's something relaxing and soothing about its sound and there's an understated beauty of the instrument.
I took up the harp for fun and relaxation but enjoyed it so much that I started performing at libraries and senior centers. I have provided background music for fundraisers and other events.
I am a member of The American Harp Society, the NJ Chapter of the American Harp Society (previously Vice President of the North Jersey Chapter from Sept 2014-August 2016), The Historical Harp Society, and The International Society of Folk Harpers and Craftsmen. I am a member of HarpAntics, a harp ensemble.
I am located in Morris County, NJ but go to surrounding areas. My programs include Medieval Through Modern, Celtic Melodies, a St. Patrick’s Day program, and A Harp for the Holidays (which can include Chanukah and Christmas tunes).
My repertoire includes light classical, Celtic, Jewish, medieval, Renaissance, and modern music. For a show, I will talk about the tunes and the harp. I also like to add some fun facts about the topic or time period to round out the program.
I also provide background music for teas, luncheons, or other events.
Places I have performed include: Mt. Olive Library, Bernardsville Library, Rockaway Library, Jefferson Library, Arbor Terrace, Cedar Crest, Brightview Randolph and Wayne, Sunrise at Randolph, and Fellowship Village.
