The Living Harp

Karlinda Caldicott, harpist

Karlinda provides beautiful, elegant harp music for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and/or reception.  She performs as a solo harpist or as part of an ensemble such as flute and harp, violin and harp, flute, cello and harp, or violin, cello and harp.

Karlinda offers a wide variety of musical styles, from classical to Celtic to love songs & showtunes to Enya/meditative/new age, plus an assortment of beautiful original harp music by talented harpists from many regions.

Karlinda plays both the pedal harp (a smaller version of what you might see in a symphony orchestra) and the lever harp (often called a Celtic harp, smaller and more portable - see picture of Renaissance wedding below).
