I am a professional harpist and a harp teacher with a masters degree in harp performance with over 15 years of performing experience throughout Europe, North America and Israel. I have performed at many weddings and various kinds of events, with my most notable performance being at the wedding of Novak Djokovic, the famous tennis player, and his bride Jelena in Montenegro by the Adriatic Sea, and at the White Palace in Belgrade for the Crown Prince and Princess of Serbia.
Many of my performances have been in different Halls, Opera House, Museums, schools… I won’t miss mentioning playing harp for elderly, blind people, orphanage, at streets of different cities and countries around the world.
I love playing classical pieces, my solo songs, songs that worship Jesus and popular beautiful melodies.
I love performing and sharing soothing and beautiful sounds of the harp.
• The temperature must be between 60 and 90 Fahrenheit.
• If I am exposed to sun while playing, it should be no higher than 80 Fahrenheit, otherwise I need to play either indoors or outside covered under a tent and similar.
• I can't play outside when it is raining, neither under the tent and wind is blowing while raining. Any kind of water on my harp can damage my instrument permanently.
I add music to my repertoire often, so if you don’t see a song you would love me to play for your event, please contact me and I might have it ready to perform, or if not, I charge extra $20 for purchasing the song that you request for your meaningful occasion.
