Rachel Avery (harp, piano) & Terri Pepper (violin) Harpist from Madison, WI

Enjoy live harp music, harp with violin, or piano with violin for your next special occasion! Rachel Avery is a folk harp teacher in Madison, WI. She has been playing harp since age 16 (and piano since age 6) and has studied with harpist Beatriz Martin-Ruiz. Rachel has extensive experience playing both outdoor and indoor events, from weddings to dinner and birthday parties to award ceremonies. She typically performs on her 5-octave Dusty Strings celtic harp, but she also has mid-sized and smaller harps available for performance. Terri Pepper has been playing the violin since age 8, and enjoys playing a variety of musical styles including classical and celtic. She has performed in several community and university orchestras. Enjoy music from the celtic traditions or choose from more standard classical and sacred repertoire. Special requests, favorite movie themes, and pop songs are welcome too! The celtic harp is ideal for more intimate gatherings as well as larger events, and the music varies from the lively to the sublime. The violin adds even more complexity and beauty to the sound. You can also choose to have Rachel play the piano instead of the harp for indoor locations that have a piano. A free consult is available for interested parties prior to signing the contract, and there is no obligation with the consult. Rachel and Terri are especially excited that Marriage Equality is now nationwide. We are happy to play for all wedding ceremonies!
