Hey, my name is Elisa (eh-lee-sah) and I play the harp. I went to classical music school a long time ago, but since then I’ve played mostly contemporary + creative music of all kinds. I roll my eyes at the harp’s angelic rep, but generosity matters: I hope listeners feel held. I call it “pretty shred”—dreamy or fierce, the harp can be a total boss, and that’s why I love it.
