About
Harp Player Melbourne is a harp player based in Melbourne, VIC.
A standard ceremony with Emily starts 15 minutes before the bridal party arrives, with harp music while guests settle. After that come the bridal party's entrance, music while the register is signed, and the recessional to close. Once the drinks and canapés come out, she can keep playing, with a program that runs from contemporary classics to light jazz. It can be harp alone, or harp with a singer. You choose from her repertoire or suggest your own pieces, and she likes trying something left of centre alongside the classical and traditional music. After more than 20 years of playing professionally, Emily can also bring in other musicians. Harp with violin, viola, cello, flute or guitar are popular pairings, and they can be combined into a duet, trio, quartet or quintet. She's based in Melbourne.
