Kathryn Lewis, Harpist
Welcome to the website of Kathryn Lewis, a professional harpist based in the Midlands, specialising in weddings, corporate events and special occasions. An experienced musician, Kathryn will help you to find exactly the right music for your event.
Why the harp?
The harp is a wonderful instrument with an elegant appearance, sublime sound and sheer presence. The harp lends itself to a wide range of music and creates an atmosphere without ever imposing.
Kathryn plays two different types of harp, for more details, please visit the making a booking page.
The music
Kathryn plays all sorts of music: classical, jazz, contemporary, some harp arrangements of well-known pieces and music written specifically for the harp, as well as popular favourites. Visit the music list page to see a selection of pieces and to listen to some sound clips.
Kathryn also plays traditional pieces from around the UK. Originally from South Wales, she also specialises in St David’s Day events, playing traditional Welsh music for Welsh societies across England.
Where she plays
Kathryn regularly plays at the region’s most prestigious venues including Breadsall Priory, Sandon Hall, Ramada Jarvis Newton Park, Ringwood Hall, Makeney Hall, Hassop Hall, Chatsworth, and she played at the first wedding at Stafford County Buildings. She is delighted to be the recommended harpist at Breadsall, Makeney Caverswall Castle and stunning Blithfield Hall.
