Instruments

Together with the harp, other instruments can also be considered. I frequently collaborate with violinists Emese Toth, David Lang and cellist Frank Camilleri, all members of the Cordia String Quartet. Together they have performed at numerous events, including weddings, inaugurations, prayer services and other occasions. Their versatility is admirable, able to perform a wide range of repertoire, from traditional to more popular pieces.

I am also proficient in several other string instruments, including the violin, cello, viola, cetra and related instruments, which allows for greater musical flexibility depending on the nature of the event. One may opt for a harp and violin duo, a harp and cello combination, or a fuller ensemble. The arrangement can extend to a string trio accompanying the harp (two violins and cello), creating a richer and more immersive sound when desired.
