About
Vanessa is a harp player for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Vanessa plays an electric harp called Big Blue, and the repertoire on it goes from Bach to Metallica to Ed Sheeran, so the range is wide. Solo harp for the quieter parts of an event, or a violin and harp duo when you want more in the room. No particular setup needed unless the music is being amplified. She holds personal liability insurance for all events. Melbourne based, and there are several song lists to choose from.

The show
Vanessa can arrive on her own with the harp, or bring a violinist along and turn it into a duo. Solo suits the parts of a day that want quiet underneath them. The duo puts more in the air when you need it. Repertoire is genuinely broad, from classical pieces through to songs people know from the radio, and there are several song lists to pick from so you're not guessing at what she'll play. Tell her the moment and she'll match it.
On the day
Usually nothing at all. The harp carries itself in a small room and Vanessa doesn't need a stage, a riser or anything built. The one exception is amplification. If the space is large, or outdoors, or you want the music carried further than a few metres, that needs sorting out beforehand. Mention it when you enquire and she'll tell you what the room calls for.
