We hired Pia to perform at our Country Club for Mother's Day and our Membership LOVED her. Pia is so extremely talented and her vocals are angelic. As a vendor she was punctual and professional. She is truly worth every penny as she elevated our entire event with her performance. We look forward to welcoming her back for many more performances in the future!
Response from Pia Salvia:
Thank you so much for the beautiful review, Melissa. It was my absolute pleasure and I am looking forward to the future performances :)
Pia Salvia's is not only a talented harpist and guitarist with a beautiful voice and spirit, but she also is a pleasure to work with. She made planning easy from working with us to select the music; to coordination with the venue, and with her timely and clear communication regarding all details in advance.
Her solo performance began with background jazz style harp music during the brunch followed by several 60's folk/rock songs with vocals on harp and guitar that I had selected for the occasion. I provided a list of some of my top choices and Pia recommended the songs from the list that would make the best arrangements which she prepared especially for our event. I knew my crowd would want to sing along to several of the songs and she was totally amenable to our chiming in and gracious about sharing the harmonies with us.
I highly recommend hiring Pia Salvia to make your event memorable and extra special!

Award-winning Belgian harpist and vocalist Pia Salvia is a unique artist in the world of modern harp.
She had been playing the harp for over 20 years and has dedicated her life to changing the function of the harp in music. Salvia is one of the first artists to incorporate the classical harp in various styles of music outside of the classical tradition. She composes, arranges and performs original compositions that feature the harp in different settings and styles of music.
After graduating summa cum laude from Berklee College of Music, she moved to NYC for several years and recently relocated to Los Angeles. Salvia has travelled the world, exploring different musical traditions and infusing elements from those diverse genres into the world of the harp which creates a new sound unlike anything heard before. Her original music merges elements of Jazz, Pop and World Music. She was invited to perform in numerous festivals such as the Festival Mundial del Arpa in Paraguay; Vancouver Island Music Fest in Canada; Festival Internacional Arpa Sentmenat in Spain, Encuentro International Maestros del Arpa in Colombia, Boston Harp Festival in the USA and Gaume Jazz Festival in Belgium, to name a few. Salvia performs with her live band and is also one of the few harpists who incorporates electronic elements into their art – elements such as the use of a loop station and different effects pedals. She is also an educator and travels around the world presenting her master class program for harpists of all levels.
She will make your special day unique and unforgettable.
The sound equipment will be discussed together and will depend on the kind of events you are organizing.
