I am a Grammy nominated harpist that loves to play all kinds of music. I play Classical, Jazz, Popular, Christian, Broadway and Folk music.
Christine performed for our tea event and it was absolutely perfect! Everyone loved the music and it really made our event amazing!
Dear Christine,
Thank you for reaching out to us. We Appreciated your Kindness and offering to play at my Mother's Graveside Service. Unfortunately there has been a change in events. Your description of Talents and Gifts are impressive! We will surely contact you in the future if we need a Harpist.
Stay safe and Well.
In Gratitude,
Anne and Dennis
Response from Christine Vivona:
Thank you for your kind words. I hope to be able to play for you in the future.
Thank you so much Christine for being at our wedding. You were incredible and everyone has mentioned how beautiful you made our ceremony!
Christine was wonderful and her music was exceptional.
Christine arrived early, was engaging and created the perfect ambience for my cocktail event. My guest were very impressed by her musical talent and we would definitely book her again! Thank you!
Christine arrived a half hour early, was extremely talented ( at the top of her profession), very polite and easy to communicate with a wide range of different styles of music (jazz, classical, popular, etc). She stayed over another 30 minutes after her scheduled time. Well worth every $ spent and will hire her again on the future. She made our 50th Anniversary celebration so enjoyable. You won’t go wrong if you are fortunate enough to get her
Response from Christine Vivona:
Oh thank you Rocky for having me play for you wonderful celebration! You and your wife are a delightful couple and I so enjoyed playing for your celebration of a great anniversary. I look forward to seeing you again. Thanks for your appreciation!
Christine was better than we had imagined the music could be. We had a small birthday party and Christine was engaging, with good rapport with our six guests and the honoree. She had humorous stories and explained harp-playing in response to questions. She had the right set of music picked out and adapted to requests. This is going to be talked about for a long time.
Response from Christine Vivona:
Oh it was my pleasure playing for the Birthday Girl (97 years young!) and her warm family! I felt very happy to be able to play for this wonderful occasion. I'll look forward to next year's party! Thank you for having me be there!

we had a big xmas party at our house and all ourights guests enjoyed Christine's performance. she was easy to work with and was always good with getting back to me right away.
What a treat to have Christine perform at our party. The music was elegant, uplifting, and so very professional. She's easy to work with, responsible and a personal delight.
Response from Christine Vivona:
I thoroughly enjoyed playing for the Marchand wedding reception! Not only were the clients warm and appreciative of my music but their guests were also! The Gallery of Dove Mountain did a fabulous job decorating, serving delicious food and accommodating all the guests!
What a treat! What a musician! She played her heart out for our 40th Anniversary party and it was just spectacular. No elevator music here. Her wide range of genre is not to be believed. Anything and everything and she was just spectacular. Besides all that, Christine is quite lovely to look at. Cannot go wrong with this harpist.
Christine came highly recommended as Tucson's premeire harpist. She gave us a private consultation and guided us with selecting the perfect marches and pieces for our wedding ceremony. She even gave us a free complimentary keepsake CD custom made with all our pieces. Terrific player and great to work with!
