Hire an East Sussex Wedding Harpist
Thanks to classic imagery such as fauns, satyrs and winged cherubs, it's not difficult to imagine why the harp is so often associated with love, which is perhaps why our East Sussex harpists are in such high demand for wedding breakfasts and wedding receptions. The gentle, emotive melodies that spring forth from the harp's strings are particularly effective when playing wedding processional music, such as Beethoven's Ode to Joy and Wagner's Bridal Chorus. However, romance is not the sole ambition of this illustrious instrument: private dinner functions, birthday parties, corporate events and charity events would all benefit equally from the sweet strains of a local harpist in East Sussex. Essentially, if you wish to celebrate with your guests in a positive, serene environment, an East Sussex harpist would be a practical choice – little space is required, and the noise levels are relatively low.
We've got the whole of East Sussex cover – everywhere from Bexhill on Sea, Brighton, Crowborough, Eastbourne, Hailsham, Hastings and Hove, to Lewes, Newhaven, Peacehaven, Portslade, Saltdean, Seaford, St Leonards and Uckfield is accessible for our East Sussex harpists.
Our recommended harpists in East Sussex use their instruments to their full potential, and their set lists reflect this. They're perfected innumerable suites, arias and sonatas from the greatest musical minds of the classical and romantic periods, such as Bach, Handel and Mozart, as well as other works transposed for the harp from pieces originally written for the oboe, trumpet and violin. Their repertoires also feature plenty of jazz standards lifted directly from the Great American Songbook – classics in the vein of Henry Mancini's Moon River, Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World and modern additions like Come Away With Me by Norah Jones. Also, for the more casual listeners, our East Sussex harpists play several TV, Movie and musical themes, such as Spiderman, Titanic, Twilight, Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables, and many contemporary popular songs by the Beatles, Coldplay, James Blunt, Lady Gaga and Florence + the Machine.
