About / Biography

I offer elegant and captivating harp music for weddings, corporate events, and special occasions, bringing a refined and unique touch to any setting. My repertoire includes classical, modern, contemporary, and neo-classical music, allowing me to tailor each performance to fit the style and mood of your event. Whether it’s timeless classics or something more modern, my goal is to create an unforgettable atmosphere for you and your guests.

For weddings, I love playing romantic and emotional pieces that highlight each special moment, whether it's the walk down the aisle or the first moments as a married couple. During receptions, my harp music creates a relaxed, elegant backdrop that helps everyone enjoy the occasion. For corporate events, the music adds just the right touch—professional yet welcoming, setting the perfect tone without being too overpowering. I’m also happy to work with you on any special requests to make the music fit your vision perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

The best gig I've ever had was performing for Princess Beatrix, the former Queen of the Netherlands. It was an incredible honour to play for such a distinguished audience, and the experience is one I’ll never forget.


What's your favourite type of event?

My favourite type of event is intimate weddings. There's something incredibly special about providing the soundtrack to such a meaningful day, and the personal connection with the couple and their guests makes the performance truly memorable.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I have over 35 years of experience as a professional harpist, having performed at prestigious international festivals such as the Salzburger Festspiele and the World Harp Congress, and worked with renowned conductors like Jaap van Zweden and Mstislav Rostropovich. I served as the principal harpist for the Symphony Orchestra of The Hague for 15 years, which gave me a wealth of experience in both solo and ensemble settings.

I started gigging after completing my studies at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, where I was part of the Young Talent Department. From there, my career grew through opportunities to perform at major festivals and collaborate with leading orchestras. This journey led me to expand into playing for weddings, events, and more intimate performances, where I could connect more personally with my audience.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I typically arrive one hour before the performance to set up and tune the harp. My performance times can vary from 15 minutes for shorter events to several hours, depending on the occasion. I’m flexible with the duration and can adjust to suit the specific needs of your event.


Are you happy to perform outside?

As long as the conditions are suitable for the instrument, I’m more than happy to perform in outdoor settings. If neccessary a shelter should be provided to protect the harp from direct sunlight, wind, or rain.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Clients are welcome to choose from my set repertoire, but they can also request specific songs as long as they are suitable for the harp


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients often describe my performances as enchanting, calming, and deeply moving. Many have highlighted the emotional impact of my music, saying it brings a sense of peace and relaxation.
