Winds Upon A String Harpist from Glen Burnie, MD

Aimée (harp) and Krisztina (flute) play together or separately for various events: weddings, dinners, cocktail hours, open houses, memorial services, graduations, or wherever you want beautiful, heavenly music! Their repertoire includes standard Classical music, as well as pop love songs, hymns, movie/TV show soundtracks, video game music, and folk songs. Aimée Raechel is a harpist based in central Maryland and has been playing weddings and other events since 2002. For extra magic, she plays with flutist Krisztina Noble! Michelle (a happy client at Calvert Marine Museum in Solomons, MD) said, "During the ceremony and cocktail hour, everything was perfect - Aimée and Krisztina were very professional. I can't recommend them enough!!!" Even in the early years, clients were impressed with Aimée's playing and professionalism. Sheree (an excited bride at Newton White Mansion in Mitchellville, MD) trusted a 15-year-old with her special day, "We already put money on another harpist, but we'll go ahead with you and lose our deposit. I really want you to play for my wedding!" Now Aimée has 20 years of experience playing weddings! WEDDING SPECIFIC DETAILS ~Sydni (a very pleased bride at Antrim 1844 in Taneytown, MD) explains, "We got together for a private meeting where they played a variety of songs so we could customize our music choices. I would highly recommend hiring them." During that consultation, we guide the couple through each aspect of the ceremony, helping you select appropriate music that fits your vibe/theme/vision! ~Dana (a happy bride at American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, MD) adds, "I mentioned that I had a specific song in mind for the bridal processional. Aimée looked for and found sheet music for this song on the harp and was able to learn it in time for our meeting and wedding! Her repertoire is extensive and we enjoyed listening to several sample pieces during our initial meeting. On the day of the wedding, Aimée was very professional and her music helped to complete my wedding vision." That is our goal: to create a soundtrack for your special day that completes what you are working so hard to achieve! HOW THE DUO STARTED In college (2008), Aimée and Krisztina formed the duo Winds Upon a String. Within months, they were featured in the highly esteemed University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) Honors Recital, leading to many performing opportunities. These include UMBC President Freeman Hrabowski III's Board of Regents Dinner (2009), a luncheon held in honor of internationally acclaimed conductor Marin Alsop (2010), and the 20th anniversary celebration of Freeman Hrabowski III's UMBC presidency (2012). Aimée and Krisztina love classic flute and harp literature, as well as pushing boundaries by premiering new music or making fun arrangements of their own, which explains their extensive repertoire- from classical to pop to movie and video game soundtracks. They enjoy both traditional and unconventional performance opportunities.
