CORNWALL HARPIST

Cornwall Harpist
BACK TO LISTING

I am a freelance harp and trumpet player living in Cornwall and working across the south of England. I offer a friendly, professional service providing instrumental music for a wide range of private and corporate events.

Music is my passion. I have been playing the harp and the trumpet for over sixteen years, during which time I have amassed a wealth of experience and gained an extensive repertoire of solo, chamber and orchestral works.

Most recently I have studied the harp with the internationally renowned harpists Gabriella Dall'Olio, Head of Harp at Trinity College of Music and Catherine White Principal Harp Tutor of the Birmingham Conservatoire and the natural trumpet with John Hutchins of the Royal Academy of Music.

In 2009 I graduated from Cambridge University with a Masters degree.

This a sample of my repertoire based on my most popular requests. I know many other works, and am always happy to learn more!

Technical Requirement: The harp needs good access. As a general rule of thumb, if a venue access for disabled people, then it will also be fine for a harp.

I am prepared to play outside as long as the weather is not cold, wet nor windy, but I do need shade, and a reasonably flat surface.

For our part, Jerry and I would not hesitate to book you again for future events.

Julie and Gareth, "It made our day so memorable!"

Thank you so much for playing wonderfully at our wedding. You were great when we were planning the day and really helped us with the choice of suitable pieces. Having you play before the ceremony relaxed and entertained our guests who were enthralled by the beautiful sound of your harp which really created a special atmosphere. It made our day so memorable!

Virginia, "Your music was truly lovely"

I cannot thank you enough for playing at my daughter Jessica and Shash's wedding on Friday. Your music was truly lovely, you are so talented and our guests were singing your praises all day, and still are. I am sorry I did not have more time to talk to you, you are so very sweet.
I would particularly like to thank you for learning to play "Can you feel the love tonight," it was beautiful and brought a tear to my eyes. But then when you played "Somewhere over the rainbow," my husband was shedding a tear or two. So well done and many, many thanks.

Connor and Lisa, "magical atmosphere"

My wife and I would like to thank you for the magical atmosphere you created at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. You played exceptionally and were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I would happily recommend you to any other couples looking for a talented harpist to enhance their special day.

Martyn and Valerie, "beautiful music and skilful playing"

Thank you very much for your lovely contribution to our wedding celebrations at Pentillie Castle on 2nd August. Everyone really enjoyed your beautiful music and skilful playing on the harp. Our little flower girls were a delight to watch as they danced around you - thank you so much for letting them have a turn at plucking the strings themselves, they loved it!

We would highly recommend you to anyone considering having a harpist at their wedding. Many thanks again for sharing your talent and skills with us, you helped to make our day very special.

Joanna and Dan, "the music was beautiful"

Just wanted to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding on the 29th August. We thought you were amazing and the music was beautiful. So many of our guests have since got in contact with us and mentioned you and your Harp.

Amy and Aaron, "I was left stunned by your musical abilities"

Hi! I hope you are well! I just wanted to message you to say, yet again, thank you so much for displaying your amazing talent at our wedding recently, I was left stunned by your musical abilities and we received lots of lovely comments on your playing. Letting me pose with your harp was just the icing on the cake and I will send you a photo when we have a copy :)
You are so very talented and play beautifully.

Sarah, "a touch of elegance"

I just wanted to thank you again for playing so beautifully at my mum' s birthday party, it was the perfect music for the occasion and your selection of music was just right! Lots of people commented on your playing and were very impressed!  Thank you once again, it certainly made the party have a touch of elegance.

David, "how beautifully you played"

Good afternoon Katie. 

Just a quick one, to say a huge thanks for playing at our wedding on Friday. All of our guests mentioned how beautifully you played, which we both agree with. 

We'll be sure to recommend you in the future :)
