Harpist for Weddings and Special Events Harpist from Oklahoma City, OK

Tessa Baker has been playing the harp and the piano for over 16 years. She studied piano under Joanna Oshida, of the Peabody Conservatory of Music of The Johns Hopkins University, and participated in multiple solo performances and has become a piano instructor herself. Tessa Baker studied the harp under Lysa Rytting, harpist for the Utah Symphony, and as a member of the Brigham Young University Harp Ensemble. She enjoyed participating in solo competitions, ensemble recitals and with the Utah Valley Orchestra. Tessa has enjoyed playing the harp and piano at weddings, corporate events and Christmas parties over the years. Tessa loves being able to do something she enjoys, while provided a pleasant atmosphere for others. Both the harp and the piano are excellent choices for background music at receptions, parties or corporate dinners. The harp is also a perfect choice for a wedding ceremony, as it offers intricate and graceful music during the ceremony without being over-powering or drawing attention away from the bride and groom. Tessa would love to share her talents to help you create a perfect event and offer your guests an enjoyable atmosphere.
