All harps must be protected from rain, direct sunlight, excessive humidity and extreme temperatures.

Technical requirements and setup space will be confirmed according to the selected performance format.


What information do you require about a venue?

Please provide the venue address, event schedule, performance location and available setup time.

Easy loading access, nearby parking and information about stairs or elevators are particularly important when transporting a concert harp.

For outdoor events, a covered, weather-protected performance area is essential.

Please also confirm the availability of electrical outlets, sound equipment and any venue-specific restrictions.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Professional sound equipment can be provided upon request, depending on the performance format, venue size and technical requirements.

Solo classical harp performances may be presented acoustically in suitable settings.

Electric harp and Harp & DJ performances require appropriate amplification.

Additional sound equipment and technical services can be arranged and included in a customized quotation. Stage lighting is not included as standard.


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

Yes! Curated background music can be arranged before and between live performances upon request.

For a more immersive experience, our Harp & DJ duo, HarpeDiem, combines live electric harp with electronic music, creating a sophisticated contemporary lounge atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

One of my most memorable performances took place at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ), where I collaborated with electronic music artist Milimétrik for a special event celebrating the work of Jean Paul Riopelle.

Performing in such an inspiring artistic environment was a unique experience, blending the elegance of live harp with contemporary electronic soundscapes and visual art.


What's your favourite type of event?

I especially enjoy elegant corporate receptions, artistic events and intimate celebrations where live music becomes an essential part of the atmosphere.

I love creating sophisticated musical experiences, whether through the timeless beauty of classical harp or the contemporary energy of electric harp and electronic music.

Every event is an opportunity to create a unique connection with the audience.


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

I am a professional harpist, singer and composer with a Bachelor's degree in Classical Harp Performance.

My musical journey began with classical training and gradually evolved into a diverse artistic career combining classical, Celtic, contemporary pop and electronic music.

In 2016, I founded Harpe et Moi Productions Inc., allowing me to develop my artistic projects and offer personalized musical experiences for weddings, corporate events, cultural institutions and private celebrations.

Over the years, I have performed in prestigious venues, collaborated with electronic music artists and developed original projects exploring the connection between acoustic instruments and modern soundscapes.

Today, I perform on both classical concert harp and electric harp, as a solo artist and in collaboration with DJs and other musicians.

My goal is to create meaningful, elegant and memorable musical experiences that go beyond traditional harp performance.


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

I am particularly drawn to artists such as Sting and Peter Gabriel for their expressive melodies, rich musical textures and ability to create deeply emotional atmospheres.

I love exploring the connection between acoustic instruments and modern electronic sounds, bringing together tradition, creativity and contemporary musical expression.

For me, the greatest music is timeless. It has the power to move people, tell stories and create meaningful connections beyond words.


What makes your harp performances unique?

I blend classical elegance with contemporary creativity, performing on both classical concert harp and Salvi Delta electric harp. From intimate acoustic melodies to immersive electronic soundscapes, each performance is thoughtfully designed to create a distinctive and memorable musical atmosphere.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Setup time varies depending on the performance format.

For solo harp performances, approximately 45–60 minutes should be allowed for installation and sound checks. Harp & DJ experiences may require 90 minutes or more, depending on the technical setup.

Performances can be arranged in 45–60 minute sets with breaks or as a customized musical experience for ceremonies, cocktail receptions and special events.

Performance duration, breaks and setup requirements are confirmed in advance to ensure a seamless experience.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, outdoor performances are possible under suitable weather and venue conditions.

A stable, level, covered and fully weather-protected performance area is essential. Harps must be protected from rain, excessive humidity, strong winds, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Electrical access may be required depending on the selected performance format.

Outdoor bookings are subject to weather conditions, and an appropriate indoor backup location is strongly recommended.


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

Absolutely! I love creating personalized musical experiences that reflect the atmosphere and vision of each event.

Clients are welcome to select their favorite pieces from my repertoire, which includes classical, Celtic, romantic, contemporary pop and instrumental arrangements.

Special song requests may also be considered with sufficient advance notice, depending on the arrangement and preparation required. Additional fees may apply.

I am always happy to help clients choose the perfect music for their special occasion.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Elegant, enchanting, soulful and memorable.

My performances are designed to create a refined and emotionally engaging atmosphere, combining the timeless beauty of the harp with a distinctive contemporary artistic approach.

Whether performing delicate classical melodies or creating an immersive electric harp experience, I strive to bring warmth, originality and a unique musical presence to every event.


Can I choose between classical and electric harp? Copier

Absolutely! The classical concert harp offers timeless elegance for ceremonies and refined receptions, while the Salvi Delta electric harp creates a modern, contemporary atmosphere. The choice of instrument depends on your event's style, musical preferences and technical requirements.
