Simply the ultimate in elegance, romance, and distinction, harpist Krista Strader brings a warmly personal, yet professional touch to each occasion, leaving a lasting impression every time. Classically trained from age four, Krista Strader brings together a high standard of performance, dedication, and passion to her art. An orchestral and solo harpist, Krista combines twenty-seven years of playing the harp with her knowledge, skill, and experience gained from over fourteen years as a full time professional. Krista has performed for international royalty, government dignitaries Arnold Schwarzenegger, General Colin Powell, and the family of President Nixon. While residing in Orange County, Krista established positions as the preferred harpist with Disney Entertainment, and the recommended harpist with the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Laguna Niguel. Krista holds a Bachelor of Music in Harp Performance from Biola University, where she was awarded the Outstanding String Musician for two consecutive years. Maintaining an active free-lance career in the Greater Bay Area, Krista is constantly adding to her performance schedule with upcoming concerts and private events. Her premiere recording titled "The Journey", a collection of celtic and popular melodies performed on celtic harp, is now available on Apple iTunes. What can be played on the harp, isn't it all slow and soft music? No way! The harp is extremely versatile, I perform everything from classical to rock, light jazz to broadway, 70's, 80's and contemporary. I'm always looking to add to my repertoire with your favorite tunes, and everything is customized to your style. I am also able to amplify my harp, and recommend this for outdoor locations and some indoor large areas. You can hear samples of my harp playing and peruse my extensive song lists on my webpage: www.kristastrader.com/repertoire.html
