Maui Harps

On Maui, Kristine is the first choice of harpists for The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, The Fairmont Kea Lani, Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa, Royal Lahaina Resort, and many private companies and agencies. In addition to weddings, she plays regularly in hotels and restaurants, both as a soloist or with other instruments such as violin, flute, cello, bass, and drums. Kristen is classically trained, although the discovery of her first electric/acoustic pedal harp brought a whole new dimension to harp music. Her electric/acoustic harps with individual microphone pick-ups, provide both volume and the resonance needed to play jazz, contemporary, and rock music, compositions not usually associated with the harp's angelic reputation. At the same time, classical music becomes richer with the additional resonance and beautiful tone of her harps, a sound that amplified acoustic harps cannot achieve. This is especially important for outdoor settings where wind and waves compete with the music.
