Karen Svanoe Westgate Harpist from Cleveland, OH

Bring a touch of elegance to your next special event! I have played for over a thousand weddings, along with cocktail hours, wedding receptions, baby showers, high school reunion dinners, church events, mother and daughter banquets, teas, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, Jewish weddings, trade shows, in the lobby of hotels, fine restaurants, funerals, company dinners, theatre work, wedding anniversaries, birthday parties. open houses and more. I love to play the harp and began playing at the age of thirteen after studying piano for five years. Whether it is for a wedding or a funeral I try to suit the music for the proper occasion. If I am playing for a dinner party, I scan the audience and try to play to every age group I see! For weddings, I offer the bride and whomever she would like to bring along, to my home to listen to and pick out her musical selections. I play love songs, Show tunes, light classics, pop, Celtic, oldies but goodies, sacred Christian or Jewish hymns, and Christmas music.
