Sophie stole the show at my intimate wedding reception at Casa Loma. I received so many compliments about her and would highly recommend her to anyone!
Absolutely wonderful performance! He music matched our garden vibe splendidly. We would love to have her back! Thanks again, Sophie, for joining us!
Sophie is truly a talented artist. She is in total control of the harp, so her performance was magical. She made our event very special. Wouldn't hesitate to ask Sophie again to share with us our future events. Thank you Sophie!
Hello Sophie was great. Thank you.
Our event was a huge success, due in part to the great musical talents of Sophie Rusnock. Thank you again Sophie - you were great beyond words! :)
We hired Sophie for so many reasons...she is a great communicator! She responds very quick with emails, text and call. We love having her in the baptism of our grandson and our guests enjoyed her music. She's an amazing harpist! We will hire her again the future!

Sophie Rusnock took up the harp as a teenager in Ottawa, under the guidance of Juno nominee Caroline Léonardelli. She immediately fell in love with the instrument, and her passion would eventually lead her to complete a Bachelor of Music degree in performance from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. Sophie has made an impression both as a soloist and as an orchestral player: she has performed with a wide range of ensembles including the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, Ottawa Symphony Orchestra and New York-based new music group Ensemble Signal.
Sophie currently resides in Toronto’s East End, and is available for weddings, events and concerts throughout the GTA. She is also currently accepting students for both harp and music theory lessons.
