About

Meet Grace

I started playing the harp when I was five years old, and it has remained the center of my musical life ever since.

What began in childhood became a long-term discipline built around performance, preparation, and a deep love for the instrument itself.

Where it began

The work

Music shaped around the occasion.

I am based in Austin and perform throughout Central Texas and nearby Hill Country venues. Weddings are a major part of my work, especially ceremony music and cocktail hour, and I also perform for private celebrations, corporate events, and senior living communities.

My repertoire includes classical music, sacred selections, and modern favorites arranged for harp. I care about choosing music that fits the room, the pacing of the event, and the experience guests are actually having in that moment.

I work with couples, planners, venues, families, and activity directors to coordinate timing, setup, and performance flow in advance. A polished event depends on that preparation as much as the music itself.

From inquiry to performance

Warm, elegant, and professionally handled.

Whether the booking is a wedding ceremony, an intimate dinner, a donor event, or a resident program, the goal is the same: live harp music that feels right for the setting.
