Cindy Horstman, harpist

Cindy performs on an electric harp which is very versatile for large venues and outdoor occasions. She provides all of her own sound equipment.
With 30 years of wedding experience, Cindy is very attentive to the timing of the music for the bridal party's entrance and exit. She works well with wedding coordinators and enjoys making the ceremony a special occasion for everyone!

Cindy Horstman has been performing, recording, writing, and arranging for the past four decades. Classically trained, she is the first recipient of a Master of Music degree in harp performance from the University of Texas at Austin.
Cindy co-founded the jazz duo, “2tone”, with bassist Michael Medina, the producer of 2tone's 10 CDs. 2tone has toured nationally for 20 years and their recordings have received critical acclaim on (link hidden) and CD Baby. Horstman’s jazz-oriented arrangements and compositions for harp ensembles are very popular with harpists both nationally and internationally, becoming best sellers on the Harp Column Music website. She has given clinics nationwide and is currently teaching harp at Collin College in Plano, TX with an emphasis on arranging, particularly in the jazz idiom.
Cindy’s most recent composition includes “Carillon Wave” – an original work and Honorable mention winner of the American Harp Society in Dallas 2015 Composer Competition.

Cindy needs access to electricity if possible. If it is not available, she can provide battery powered amplification for her harp. If the wedding is in the sun, she needs shade for the harp and if it is raining, she needs shelter for the harp.
