#harpril day 26: my harp-crush
Elias Parish Alvars certainly had the looks for a serious crush... but I decided to make this about harpists that inspire me: I probably don't need to explain the genius of Elias Parish Alvars, but probably why I picked the lady on the left. This is Italian harpist Clelia Gatti Aldrovandi (1901-1989) -non-hyphenated, just like Parish Alvars. She was a fierce lady! Sadly not many people have heard about her but for me she was one of the most influential harpists of the 20th century. During her lifetime she worked with many famous composers and you can find her name in the dedication of important works of our repertoire such as the Sonata by #paulhindemith or the pieces by #ninorota.

Days 25 and 25 #harpril Away from the harp. Two photos from my travels to Vancouver and San Francisco. I am so lucky I can travel and I love seeing new places. I love to travel. Harp crush. I always knew I wanted Barbara Allen as a teacher one day and when it happened it was everything I expected! She’s amazing. I always had a big harp crush on the NYC ballet’s harpist Sara Cutler. That’s where I heard the harp for the first time when I was so little! She’s such a nice person and a very, very talented harpist. I even took a lesson with her and it was awesome. 7 year old fan girl me was jumping for joy. @lowpressureharpshare
Day 26 & 27 of #harpril is harp crush & what I like to listen to...
• Yesterday I was consumed with practice, performance class and a lesson back at the conservatoire so this ones coming to you a day late, apologies
• I have so many harp crushes, if I follow you I probably fangirl over you but both of these can also double up as what I like to listen to
• These two incredible electric harpists are my go to for when I'm feeling deflated about my own playing. Just listening to the way they play & their own beautiful compositions always reminds me how much I love the harp & inspires me to keep chugging away
• I love experimenting with my electric harp so @lowleaf & @laraharp thank you for everything you've put out into the world it keeps me going in ways you can't imagine and reminds me there's a place for the harp outside the classical world

Day 26 of #harpril Harp crush My first harp crush was Yolanda Kondonassis @yolanda_harp .I can’t remember how I discovered her, but I have always loved listening to her recordings, especially when I was studying some of the same works. My Instagram harp crushes are Kirsten Agresta Copely @musiccityharp and Emmanuel Ceysson @emmanuel_ceysson. If I had become a full time harpist, I would want Kirsten’s career! She has done it all, from backing up Beyonce, solo and orchestral performances, studio session recordings in Nashville and a steady gig at the St. Regis in NYC! And I live for Emmanuel’s videos from the Metropolitan Opera pit @lowpressureharpshare #harp #harpist #popgoestheharp #practicalharpist #harpsrock #harpcrush
Day 26, harp crush! First, Emmanuel Ceysson, an incredible French harpist, but what I enjoy most are his pit videos. Second, Amy Turk, she is badass and can play anything! Her cover of Africa is pretty awesome. Third, Margaret Davis for her sultry jazz! #harpril #harpcrush #harpist #emmanuelceysson #amyturk #margaretdavis
