What are your COVID protocols?
- I actively perform all around eastern Iowa (Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waterloo/Cedar Falls, Quad Cities, Dubuque, and surrounding areas.) I may be available to perform at locations more distant than these. Contact me for availability.
- For locations farther than 25 miles from my home in Cedar Rapids, I charge mileage at $.30/mile.
Do you play for outdoor events?
- Yes! A harp's portability makes it an ideal choice for many outdoor locations. Click here to find policies and procedures for outdoor events.
How much space will you need? Where should we plan for you to set up?
- I will need an area approximately 5 ft by 4 ft for the harp and related items.
- The harp should not be directly in front of a furnace or air conditioning vent and must be on a level surface.
Do you need amplification?
- I provide my own amplification when it is needed.
- Outdoor events: Amplification is almost always needed.
- Indoor services (wedding ceremonies and memorial services): Amplification is rarely needed. Exceptions include services held in heavily carpeted rooms or with unusually large numbers of guests.
- Indoor social events (dinners, cocktail parties, etc.): Amplification is usually needed for social events with more than 50 guests or in a location where guests are spread out in different rooms.
What do we need to provide for you?
- All I need is an appropriate space (see above or click here for outdoor events). I will bring all of the equipment I need, including a bench/chair.
We are looking for a harp and flute duo. Do you ever play with a flutist?
- Yes! I have an extensive repertoire for harp and flute and work with several local flutists, depending on availability.
- Contact me about your event, and let me know you are interested in a harp/flute duo. I will confirm availability and pricing for both myself and a flutist.
What are your COVID protocols?
- I am fully vaccinated and up to date with boosters.
- I do not typically wear a mask when performing. However, I am happy to do so at the request of clients.
