HARPIST || MYTHOLOGIST || LECTURER
Performance
"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, light to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything."
-Plato
Jeanne began studying the pedal harp in 1990 with Karen Strauss of the New York Harp Ensemble. After years of practice, she brought her talents across the country to perform for a wide array of audiences in venues of all shapes and sizes along the West Coast. In recent years, her interests in music, mythology, and healing have created harmony and guided her into the practice of Therapeutic Harp, with which she has cultivated a new and fulfilling purpose in the musical craft.
