Biography
A harpist for all occasions, Kirsten has been playing her harp at weddings, functions and ceremonies for over eight years. She is based in Essex but is happy to travel to Suffolk, Hertfordshire, and all surrounding areas.
Kirsten's wide musical repertoire includes classical, modern, traditional, show tunes and a touch of jazz.
Kirsten trained in Cambridge and has played with many orchestras and choral groups both there and in Essex. She has toured in Prague, Italy, Spain and Germany and is also an accomplished soprano, having sung in Venice, Austria, Estonia, Latvia and Dublin.
The harp lends itself to background music for special occasions and is perfect for the entrance of the bride, signing of the register and wedding march of the happy couple.
