About Kristin Lloyd, Harpist

Kristin Lloyd

harpist

I’m a classically trained harpist with over 20 years of experience performing for weddings and events. I hold a Bachelor of Music degree from Rice University and a Master of Music degree from the University of Michigan. Some of the ensembles that I have worked with include the Oakland Symphony, San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, the San Jose Chamber Orchestra, and Opera Parallele. As a versatile musician who enjoys playing many different genres, I’ve shared the stage with artists, including Andrea Bocceli, Sarah Brightman, Pink Martini, Babyface, Yoke Lore, and Faye Webster. I’ve also recorded with bands and for TV and film.

As a second-generation musician, I’ve been performing for most of my life and have played for many high-profile events, including the Houston Grand Opera Ball, the Napa Valley Film Festival, and NFL legend Jerry Rice’s wedding. While I have extensive classical training, I’m also skilled at adapting songs from many genres to the harp. I would love to work with you to create the ideal ambiance for your occasion. Whether pop, jazz, Bollywood, video game music, or more, I’m happy to personalize the song selections. I offer solo harp or harp with ensemble. Some possibilities are: harp and cello, harp and flute, or harp and string trio.

    Exceptional Harpist!

    I am a professional cellist and I have worked with Kristin on numerous occasions and each time has been an absolutely wonderful experience. She is extremely professional, organized, communicative, punctual, and kind and it is always such a breath of fresh air getting to work with her. Additionally, she is an incredible harpist who is exceptionally musical, has a beautiful tone, and always arrives prepared. In ensembles, she is always supportive of fellow musicians and committed to creating high quality music with her colleagues. I can’t recommend her enough for weddings, concerts, or any event where you need a truly exceptional musician.

    What a pleasure it was to work with Kristin! She served as the harpist for my most recent wedding, and it was a fabulous addition to an altogether lovely event. She played a 30-minute concert ahead of the ceremony, featuring new R&B Classics like Luther by Kendrick Lamar and SZA, contemporary pop hits like Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish, and a mix of her own favorites. Early on in the planning process, we discovered that her original harp would not fit through the very narrow doors of our venue. She worked to source a new harp, collected and deliver it to the venue, and ensure that it had the sound that our couple was looking for. I am incredibly grateful to her for her partnership and look forward to hiring her for future events!
