Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

A clean, dry, level and stable performance area of approximately 3 × 3 metres is preferred, with sufficient space for the concert harp, stool and music stand.
The harp must be protected from rain, direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture and sudden temperature changes. For outdoor events, a fully covered and weather-protected performance area is essential.
A parking space close to the venue entrance is required for the safe loading and unloading of the concert harp.** Convenient, step-free access to the performance area is essential. Any stairs, lifts or access restrictions must be discussed in advance.
An electrical outlet is required only when amplification is used.


What information do you require about a venue?

Please provide the venue address, type of event, expected number of guests, performance location (indoor or outdoor) and approximate performance schedule.
As the concert harp is a large and delicate instrument, please confirm the availability of parking directly at or near the entrance for loading and unloading, as well as information about lifts, stairs and access to the performance area.
Please also indicate whether parking is available for the duration of the event.
For outdoor performances, suitable weather protection and an alternative indoor location must be available.
Information about room size, acoustics and existing sound equipment is also helpful.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes. I provide my own professional sound equipment, including a Yamaha StagePas PA system and an electroacoustic concert harp.
For intimate events and smaller venues, the natural acoustic sound of the classical concert harp is often ideal and requires no amplification.
For larger venues, outdoor receptions and contemporary music programmes, professional amplification can be provided according to the event's requirements.
Stage lighting is not included but can be coordinated with the venue or event organiser if necessary.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Background music can be arranged before, between and after my live performances upon prior agreement, using a suitable music source and the available sound system.
I do not offer a dedicated DJ service, but I am happy to coordinate musical transitions with the event organiser or a professional DJ to ensure a seamless musical atmosphere throughout the event.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

One of the most memorable highlights of my international career was my concert participation at Carnegie Hall in New York. Performing on such a legendary stage was a truly special artistic experience.
Having spent over 25 years as a principal harpist in professional symphony orchestras, I have had the privilege of performing in many prestigious concert halls and at international events. Every venue has its own atmosphere, but Carnegie Hall remains a particularly meaningful milestone in my career.


What's your favourite type of event?

I particularly enjoy events where live music becomes an essential part of the atmosphere, whether it is an elegant wedding, an exclusive private celebration, a prestigious corporate reception or an intimate concert.
What I love most is creating a musical experience that feels personal and memorable. The versatility of the concert harp and electroacoustic harp allows me to adapt to very different settings, from refined classical performances to contemporary and sophisticated lounge music.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

My musical journey began at the age of four, when I started studying music. What began as a childhood passion developed into an international professional career.
Since 1995, I have performed as a concert harpist, both as a soloist and in chamber music ensembles. I am a multiple prize winner at international music competitions and spent more than 25 years as a permanently employed principal harpist with several professional symphony orchestras.
Alongside my classical concert career, I have always enjoyed bringing live harp music to special occasions, private celebrations and prestigious events.
Today, I perform on both the classical concert harp and the electroacoustic harp, combining decades of concert experience with a versatile repertoire ranging from classical music to jazz, film music and contemporary arrangements.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

One of the artists who has influenced me most is the extraordinary violinist Nigel Kennedy. I have had the privilege and great pleasure of performing in his musical projects, an experience that holds a very special place in my professional career.
What I particularly admire about Nigel Kennedy is his extraordinary artistic freedom, individuality and fearless approach to crossing musical boundaries. His ability to combine the highest level of classical musicianship with jazz, improvisation and contemporary styles is truly inspiring.
Having experienced his musical world from within, I deeply appreciate his spontaneity, creativity and uncompromising artistic authenticity.
As a concert harpist, I share this passion for exploring musical possibilities beyond traditional boundaries, from classical masterpieces to jazz and contemporary music.


What makes your harp performances different?

Perhaps the combination of two worlds: more than 30 years on international concert stages and a genuine love of creating beautiful moments for people.

I bring the same artistic dedication to an intimate wedding as I do to a prestigious concert hall. With both classical concert harp and electroacoustic harp, I can move effortlessly between classical elegance, jazz and contemporary music.

For me, true excellence is never about being ostentatious. It is about musical quality, sensitivity, good taste and making people feel that something very special is happening.


What do you enjoy most about performing at private events?

I love the personal connection. In a concert hall, you share music with an audience. At a private event, you become part of someone's special story.

Sometimes it is a bride recognising her favourite melody, sometimes a guest discovering the harp for the first time, or a room becoming wonderfully quiet because everyone is listening.

These moments remind me why I chose music as my life's work. Even after decades on stage, they never lose their magic.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive approximately 90–120 minutes before the performance to allow sufficient time for unloading, transporting, tuning and setting up the harp. Additional time may be required for larger venues or amplified performances.
Performance duration is flexible and tailored to the event.
Concert performances typically include a 45–60-minute programme without an interval or a traditional classical concert format of 45 + 40 minutes with an intermission.
Events and receptions can be accompanied by several sets of 30–45 minutes, depending on the occasion. I also offer the internationally established hotel entertainment format of 4 × 45-minute sets, with 15-minute breaks between sets.
For weddings, corporate functions, gala dinners and private celebrations, the performance schedule can be adapted to the programme of the event, providing elegant musical accompaniment with appropriate breaks.
The exact duration, number of sets and performance schedule are agreed individually w


Are you happy to perform outside?

I usually arrive 90–120 minutes before the performance to allow sufficient time for unloading, transporting, tuning and setting up the harp. Larger venues or amplified performances may require additional preparation time.

Performance duration is flexible and tailored to the event.

Concerts: 45–60 minutes without an interval, or a traditional classical concert format of 45 + 40 minutes with an intermission.

Events and receptions: Several sets of 30–45 minutes, or the international hotel entertainment format of 4 × 45-minute sets with 15-minute breaks between sets.

For weddings, corporate functions, gala dinners and private celebrations, the performance schedule can be adapted to the event programme, including extended musical accompaniment with appropriate breaks.

All timings and performance arrangements are agreed individually with the client.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Absolutely! I believe that music should reflect the individual character of each event.

Clients are welcome to select their favourite pieces from my extensive repertoire, ranging from classical masterpieces and romantic melodies to jazz, film music and contemporary arrangements.

I am also happy to discuss special musical requests, particularly for wedding ceremonies and important personal moments. New pieces or arrangements can be prepared upon request, depending on their suitability for the harp and the available preparation time.

Alternatively, I can design a complete musical programme tailored to the occasion, atmosphere and preferences of the client.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

My clients frequently describe my performances as elegant, sophisticated, exceptionally expressive and of outstanding musical quality.

They particularly appreciate the beautiful sound and surprising versatility of the harp, as well as my ability to create a refined atmosphere perfectly suited to each occasion.

Professionalism, reliability, flexibility and careful attention to individual musical requests are consistently highlighted in their feedback.

Many guests are fascinated by the instrument and its expressive possibilities, while clients often mention how naturally the music complements their event, whether as a captivating performance or elegant background accompaniment.

My Eventpeppers profile has received 15 client reviews, with an overall rating of 5 out of 5 stars and a 100% recommendation rate.


Can the harp sound modern, jazzy or even surprising?

Absolutely! The harp has far more personalities than most people imagine.

It can be romantic and delicate, but also rhythmic, playful, dramatic and wonderfully contemporary. My repertoire includes classical masterpieces, jazz standards, film music, French chansons and modern arrangements.

With my classical concert harp and electroacoustic harp, I can create very different musical atmospheres.

One of my greatest pleasures is seeing the surprise on someone's face when they discover what a harp can really do!
