Hi! I’ve been a Pittsburgh freelance harpist for over 30 years. I began my professional public career in 1980, entertaining audiences every weekend in the Palm Court of the William Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh.After four years there, I began playing for the next twelve years regularly at the Grand Concourse at Station Square for their Sunday brunch. This brought me into the mid ‘90’s when I was asked to play at the Palace Hotel in Tokyo every evening for three monthsWhat an interesting time for me! My professional career didn’t stop there. I’ve been playing for all kinds of weddings for over 29 years. I’ve also performed at many openings of various new shops and for the building opening of Oxford Centre in downtown Pittsburgh. Every year for about the last ten years I’ve been playing New Year’s Day at the exclusive Duquesne Club, ranked #1 in the country for the “best private club”. In 2012 and 2013 I played New Year's Day at the Pittsburgh Golf Club. I've also played at various venues including Saks Fifth Avenue, PPG Wintergarten, Fifth Avenue Place, CNG (now Dominion ) Tower, the Fulton Building, the Hilton Towers, Pittsburgh Golf Club, the Pittsburgh Athletic Club, Concordia Club etc. and various other social functions in Pittsburgh and as far West as California. Internationally, after Japan, I played briefly in Paris and Grand Cayman. Besides weddings and business gatherings, I play for Bar Mitzvahs, funerals, and I’ve even played at gravesites and in birthing rooms. You name it and I will be there!I instruct students of all ages in my home in Shadyside, an area of Pittsburgh. I’ve also given Master Classes at the Eastman School of Music and at Carnegie Mellon University.I’ve played for as many as 800 people at one time and for as few as two people for their wedding anniversaries.Specialties: Freelance harpInstructor of the harp for all ages and levels
