Peri Kowal Harpist

I am a freelance harpist available for Weddings, corporate functions and private functions. I was first introduced to the Harp by my grandfather when I was a small girl. He had purchased a harp for himself to learn and play after learning several other instruments and trying to find a instrument he could play with his many health problems. He started me on lessons, and started a passion for mysel

f. After a couple years, in which I had stopped playing, my grandfather passed away and left me his harp in his will. I took this with as a blessing, and found a local harp teacher in the Adelaide hills. Moira Lawry taught me for several years before I went abroad. I have performed throughout Australia in many different settings and venues including the Sydney Opera House, Adelaide Convention Centre, St Peter's Cathedral, The Hilton and The Edith Speigletent for various events including weddings, opening nights and concerts, both solo and in groups. I have travelled internationally, interstate and regionally in shows with Le Aerial, Aerialicious and Hayali's Mess performing pedal harp, Celtic harp and flying harp. I have performed community functions such as the opening of the hub library in collaboration with the city of Salisbury council, and other special events at venues like childcare centres, nursing homes and cemeteries. I was apart of Adelaide's Harpeggio, an orchestra consisting of 7 beautiful harps and also auditioned and got accepted for the Adelaide Youth Symphony Orchestra. Repertoire
