About Me

About Me

Hi, I'm Tess! I am 17-years old harpist. My musical training beginning at the age of 9 with the piano. From there, I began studying harp in middle school and have had the good fortune to study with some of the best teachers in Central Mass and Cape Cod. 

I currently perform with the Worcester Youth Symphony Orchestra and the Worcester Academy Orchestra. I've also been a guest harpist with the North Shore Philharmonic. In addition, I've received several awards for my playing, most notably First Place, Amateur Harpist by the NH Scot Organization. I frequently play at local events, ranging from parties, to weddings, to fundraisers, and more in and around Central Massachusetts and Cape Cod. If you are looking for a harpist to add a special touch to your event, I would love to hear from you.
