Chicago harpist Courtney Lawhn performing at downtown
Chicago's Drake Hotel for High Tea
Unquestionably, having a
harpist play music in the
background of an event
imbues the atmosphere with
elegance, charm, and style,
whatever the occasion. As
a professional Chicago
harpist, I have a large
repertoire of music in many
different genres, a sampling
of which is available by
clicking on repertoire.
In addition to all of the background music functions
above, I have performed for other types of events as a
Chicago harpist, including lecture demonstrations for
varying ages and private recitals. Rates vary
depending on what type of playing and degree of
preparation are required. Please contact me for a
personalized quote based on the type of event you
have in mind.
Background music is priced
on an hourly scale which
includes a standard harp
cartage fee and beautiful
harp music in the genres of
your choice for the duration
of the hour or hours desired.
"Your playing was absolutely
sublime and greatly enhanced
the delight of our most special
occasion."
-Glen Gabryel

advance as possible for
December dates, since the
holiday season books up
quite early for Chicago
harpists.
