My name is Kate Loughrey, and I am a professional, conservatory-trained harpist with over fifteen years of experience playing for weddings, special occasions, concerts, and community functions. I have a large repertoire of classical, jazz, pop, and world music perfect for any event. I also offer concert and folk harp lessons for students of all ages and levels at my private teaching studio.
