Mitch Landy The Harp Guy

Mitch Landy - Harpist:  A harp creates a mood -- romantic and blissful -- like no other instrument. All the joy, the love, the hopefulness of the occasion can be expressed in the music. With a broad repertoire to select from, I can create a program to match your preferences.  From the elegance of Bach and Mozart to the playfulness of Cole Porter and George Gershwin, from the Middle Ages to the 1990's, my harp and I can complement your special event. "Thank you so much for providing music for the presentation of the Art Guild gifts ... As I write this, the lovely music flowing through the gallery is a delight. You and your harp have added a very special touch to the evening."

An award winner on the Celtic harp at the 1995 International Pop & Jazz Harpfest, Mitch now focuses his talents on the rich harmonic potential of the pedal harp, arranging jazz classics from the twenties and thirties, along with contemporary songs, and improvisation; and of course, classical pieces, including his own compositions. Never limited to the existing repertoire of published harp music, Mitch continues to perform predominantly his own arrangements, and brings a style of his own to everything he plays. In addition to weddings and gala events (both solo and with flutists), Mitch has played solo concerts in the San Francisco Bay area , as well as restaurants and tea rooms.

"You provided just the right compliment to the ceremony; we have wonderful memories to think about in the years to come. All our guests commented on the harp music, and what a nice surprise it was to continue hearing you at the reception afterwards. We were fortunate in having you share your talent with all of us."

"Your playing was a huge asset to our wedding, and was flawlessly accomplished."

"Thank you so much for your absolutely beautiful Celtic harp playing at our wedding and reception ... It was very moving for us and for our families to have your Celtic music part of our ceremony. Thanks so much for learning "Ag Croist an Siol;" there wasn't a dry eye in the house..."

Mitch Landy Is A superb Harpist Some of his Albums Include:

"Years ago, when almost all the Celtic harpists I knew were playing Irish and other types of modal and 'folk' music (as, indeed, was I), I became fascinated with the prospect of arranging and composing for the lever harp music in the classical and pop genres. For the most part, my arrangements -- and certainly my original works -- are not offered merely as substitutes for those who don't have the advantage of pedals. They are suitable for concert performance." -- Mitch Landy
