Anna Hezska - Wedding Harpist

Are you looking for a harpist for a wedding in London? This wedding harpist's virtuoso performances and imaginative programs have established her reputation as a harpist of exceptional accomplishment. She plays a wide range of classical and popular music and can also offer Bollywood songs.

Complete your perfect day with the romantic sound of her harp playing. Let this breathtaking instrument create a unique atmosphere for your celebration. Her music is available for religious, civil and humanist ceremonies, wedding breakfasts, dinners and receptions.

Her comprehensive catalogue of over 200 pieces includes classical, jazz and world traditional music. She plays a Salisbury pedal harp by Pilgrim Harps (England) and an Aida clarsach by Salvi (Italy). Both harps are uniquely fitted with electric pick-ups and can be appropriately amplified if required. Both instruments can be moved to various locations (indoors or outdoors) during an event if necessary.

Free consultation is available for you to discuss any special requests. She will help you to create a magical program tailored to your individual wishes. If you would like to complement the tender tones of the harp, the elegant combination of a Harp and Flute duo or beautiful Harp, Flute and Vocalist Trio is also available.

She spent many years based in Scotland and established her reputation as a harpist of exceptional accomplishment. She has had the honour of playing at Scottish and European Parliaments, at the Queen's 80th-birthday celebrations at Balmoral and at the King of Thailand's birthday celebrations in Bangkok.

She studied at the F. Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw, Poland (Masters in Arts), and The University of Arizona, USA (Masters in Music Performance).
She has performed with many major European orchestras, including the Young World Symphony Orchestra, the National Opera in Warsaw and Scottish Opera.
She has released a solo album that is believed to be the first pedal harp CD made in Scotland.

This performer composes and arranges music for harp and clarsach and has been commissioned to arrange a cycle of Thai King's songs for harp ensemble. Her first work was performed to a great critical acclaim at the Harp Festival in Cardiff last year.
