Choose Graceful Harp & Keyboard for your special event!
We are a mother / daughter duo playing the keyboard and harp. We create a graceful, classic sound that adds sparkle to any event. Our music is exquisitely tender and sweet. There is nothing quite like the harp to touch the heart-strings.
Piano / Keyboard: Jana, (the mother), has played piano since childhood and is able to play any piano at your venue, or she will bring her keyboard with sound system for effective amplification out of doors, if needed. She has chosen a wide variety of lovely and utterly appropriate music for before, during and after the wedding ceremony. The mother currently works as a high-school Spanish teacher during the week, and she is happy to work in a bilingual setting, if needed.
Harp: Grace, (the daughter), has 5 years of music instruction on piano and harp. She adds simple, peaceful melodies and glissandos to the more elaborate keyboard of her mother. The daughter plays a 5-and-a-half foot tall gold-tone Lyon & Healy pedal Harp. The instrument is striking to look at and gorgeous to listen to!
If you couldn't decide between the pleasant sound of the piano or the elegant harp, now you don't have to. We offer both!
Call (707) 693-1896 to schedule an appointment to hear Graceful Harp & Keyboard play, as well as discuss dates, music choice, pricing and other details.
More about the Lyon & Healy Harp
Lyon & Healy is known by harpists as the world's premiere harp maker. From the hallowed halls of the New York Philharmonic to the Bolshoi Ballet, Lyon & Healy Harps are acclaimed throughout the world for their remarkable depth and clarity of sound, breathtaking designs, and rich heritage of quality craftsmanship. With 120 years of experience, each hand crafted pedal harp is instilled with a legacy of superior wood-crafting and commitment to the development of the instrument. Grace's Harp has 43 strings and 7 pedals. The pedals are used to alter the strings to play sharps and flats, (similar to the "black keys" on the piano.) This harp is constructed of hard maple and sitka spruce, and finished with gold-tone and a warm natural wood stain.

Details
Both the Harp and Keyboard are instruments that need a flat surface on which to play. More importantly, both instruments are sensitive to strong sun, wind and rain. A porch or covered area is the best choice for ceremony musicians for any outdoor event. In the event of rain, we will be unable to play out of doors.
We are located in the Vacaville/ Davis area, but we are willing to travel for a small added fee.
