Biography
Originally from East Sussex, Marie-France studied the harp at the conservatoire of Besancon and has been playing for many years in the finest venues in the South West of England for such events as:
Wedding civil ceremonies, church services, civil partnerships, receptions, wedding breakfasts, christenings, birthday parties, anniversaries, corporate functions, product launches, dinner functions/parties, charity events, funerals, and many other special occasions.
As she touches this delightfully expressive instrument, Marie-France takes you on a trip into a musical wonderland.
Trained at the Conservatoire de Besancon and the Royal College of Music, Marie-France's flying fingers are equally at home with the classical harp repertoire ... traditional music of the British Isles ... or with popular song ... not forgetting themes from opera, musicals and films.
If you have a favourite romantic song, Marie-France will play it for you.
From The Orangery at Kensington Palace to the Bristol Royal Marriot Hotel (where she is resident harpist), Marie-France brings a touch of class to grace any occasion.
Musical effusions from the harp are the perfect way to make your day really special.
