Karina Bell—Harpist

                    

Repertoire

Musical taste is highly individual, and so Karina will work with you to choose the perfect music for your special day.  And you don’t need to be an expert in classical music either, simply humming a tune is often enough to identify its source!

Whilst you may have some very clear ideas about the music for your special day, you may prefer simply to choose from some of the most popular and well-recognised pieces.  Here are just a few examples from Karina’s repertoire…
