Octavia Harp Ensemble at the 2025 Crystal Charity Ball!

My childhood dream of playing with the Octavia Harp Ensemble came true this December! I made my debut with the Octavia Harp Ensemble, an ensemble of eight harpists Directed by Laura Brandenburg, at the Crystal Charity Ball in Dallas! I grew up attending Octavia Harp Ensemble concerts and I still listen to their Christmas album every year. For this performance there was only room for 6 harps, which were lifted onto the various balconies and pedestals in the cocktail area outside the Hilton Anatole Ballroom. We rehearsed and performed with a click track and backing tracks, so we could all perform together (amplified) in multiple locations around the room. It was great day with some of my favorite harp friends!
