An experienced event harpist, I understand the importance of your special day.  I will work with you to provide music of your choosing for your ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception.   I also play harp for parties, showers, and memorials, as well as for theatre and in restaurants.  

Throughout the year, I cover all of Long Island and most of the Tri-State area.  I book select dates in New Mexico, as well.  I am also willing to travel elsewhere; please inquire.  Should you desire harp plus another instrument (for instance, violin, flute, 'cello, or voice), I will handle all the paperwork for you, booking my own experienced musicians.  Please inquire as to possible combos.  

Covering events in catering halls, vineyards, public spaces, private homes, and outdoors.

Events include:  Weddings (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception); Parties (anniversaries, luncheons, tea parties, etc.); Showers (bridal and baby); Fundraisers; Memorials and Funerary Situations; Political Functions; Restaurants; Theatre; and Orchestras.

I have been playing harp for over 30 years, beginning private lessons in February of 1978, and continuing on at the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam.  I have traveled with the Long Island Youth Orchestra to play in Southeast Asia and Scandinavia, and at the World's Fair in Vancouver.  

Seen recently on Bravo TV's "Chef Roble & Co.", The Crazy Hamptons Blowout episode:  http://www.bravotv.com/chef-roble-and-co/season-1/videos/puppy-love-literally

To hear me in person, I play at North Shore Entertainment's Metro Bridal Expo in Suffolk County each month.  Visit my website for current dates and locations:  www.harpist-miriamshilling.com.  While there, check out my new blog.

I currently give private lessons in both harp and piano from my home on the East End of Long Island.

Questions and inquiries are always welcome.  Remember . . . it's YOUR day; I want YOU to be happy.
