I currently offer three options of flute/harp duos. My most popular is “Turidae” with my daughter Mariah (for music samples click here), but if you are interested in full sized classical harp and a more extensive classical repertoire, you my choose to go with my classical duo offering with Rebecca Kaufman. I have also worked quite a bit with Celtic harpist Mary Fran Stafford. All offer lovely repertoire of quite different sorts and are available at different times.

Currently, all sound and video samples are with Mariah (on the left!). Mariah plays a 29 string lever harp. She can play quite a few classical selections, including many of the wedding standards, though the majority of our repertoire is Celtic.  She is also a classical violinist with some training in piano as well, so she’s able to work out an impressive array of new material from sheet music. Mary Fran (in the middle, at a wedding at Lang Farm in Essex) is a Celtic harpist extraordinaire. If you would like primarily Celtic music, Mary Fran will delight you.  Rebecca is a fabulous classically trained harpist, currently sought after by many for Vermont events of all sorts, and has been the principal harpist with the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra (Harrisburg, PA) since 1979, and she and her harp can cover all the bases, though our repertoire is primarily classical. Click here for Rebecca’s bio and lovely web site.
