Description

Jane Kauffman Brye is currently the Principal Harpist with the Reading, PA, Symphony Orchestra, past Principal Harpist with the Harrisbug and Lancaster Symphonies and has appeared as soloist with the Reading, Lancaster, and Harrisburg, PA, Symphonies. She has performed classical music for many weddings and special events as a soloist as well as with her flute and harp duo, Gliss and Air. She also performs in a flute, harp, and cello trio, as well as a cello and harp duo. Jane is a classically trained musician and plays on a Lyon and Healy concert grand Salzedo harp. A concert harp is large enough that the sound carries very well without electrical amplification, even outdoors. She also plays the harp using the Salzedo method which means that she plays with a full, rich, orchestral sound. She studied with Molly Hahn of Wayne, Pa. and also studied for seven summers at the Salzedo Harp Colony in Camden, Maine with Alice Chalifoux and Jeanne Chalifoux and is a graduate of Elizabethtown College. Jane also performs in a harp duo with her sister, Rebecca Kauffman.

Feedback

  • Jane is a true professional and a very gifted harpist. Beautiful! -- Gail F, Lancaster, PA, 10/23/2011
  • I got many compliments on the music & how beautiful it sounded. Jane was organized which made it stress free. She worked w/ me last min w/ music changes that happened a few weeks beforehand & the day of (adding a vocalist to a piece). Lastly, my husband is named after a French composer. We asked her if she could play something by him for the recessional if it existed for harp. Unfortunately,it didn't exist - BUT, she told us that she would write the piece just for us to make our day more special. It was very unexpected & generous of her. It created a memory for us that will last a lifetime! I would highly recommend Jane. I have only positive things to say! -- Barbara D, Leola, PA, 4/14/2012
  • We would highly recommend Jane Brye. Her music was a highlight of the ceremony. -- Cullen W, Lancaster, PA, 5/27/2012
