4worldlovers: With its origins lost in the mists of time and mythology, the harp is amongst the most ancient of all musical instruments. In antiquity, the harp was played in almost all cultures and to this day is known and loved all around the world.

The harp is perhaps the most romantic of all musical instruments. In the Christian Old Testament, played by angels and saints, the harp has long been associated with visions of paradise.

Its lush sweeping chords fill any room with a sumptuous cushion of sound, making your special guests feel welcome and putting them at ease, bringing romance and elegance to your celebration.

Music is the soundtrack to your wedding: on this day of all days music can express those emotions which simply can not be expressed with words.

The harp can provide music for wedding guests while they await the arrival of the bridal party, making them feel special and welcome, providing a topic for conversation and putting them at ease.

Owen's vast repertoire ensures every element of your ceremony, from the processional to the signing of the register and finally the recessional, will be memorable and appropriate.

Owen will work with you to find music that you will love, or he can make recommendations for you. Depending on the ceremony, music may be added for candle lighting, communion and the signing of the register.

Harp music may be prefered during the reception, either for pre-dinner drinks, or while your guests dine.

The harp is an exceptionally versatile instrument and makes a wonderful accompaniment to corporate dinners and parties.

Owen has performed solo works and teamed up with colleagues from the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra to form chamber music recital programs for conferences and corporate events.

The unsurpassed beauty and magnificent sound of harp music has been used to celebrate each of life's significant milestones - from naming ceremonies and birthdays to civil unions and engagements.

Owen has played for many funeral services. He played the famous Moon River for his father's memorial during the photographic display - a touching and reflective moment in which to say goodbye.

We had Eva play the harp at one of our launch events. Everything was perfect. Thanks.

Classically trained from childhood, and possessing a degree in harp performance, Eva Murphy's training was serious from the start. Over the following decades, she performed all genres of music on a full-time basis, nearly every night, in the finest restaurants, clubs and hotels. Special events, and in particular weddings, have always been her specialty.

By hiring Eva for your event, you are in very good company: There are many world-famous harpists throughout the U.S.A. Even so, Eva has repeatedly been awarded the title of the annual most-frequently-hired-special-event-harpist for the entire U.S., by the world's #1website for hiring live entertainment (Gigmasters.com). The same prestigious website also awarded her the title of most popular entertainer of any kind, for weddings... in the entire U.S. Hundreds of brides and event planners have lauded her ability to create the perfect ambience for any occasion.
