Harpist Extraordinaire
Tasha Robinson
Tasha enjoys singing and connecting the tunes to stories, using her harps in non-conventional ways to entertain the audience and break down walls that can sometimes occur in classical settings.
Additional Information

Tasha performs on a variety of harps. She has a Lyon and Healy Style 23 which is a 47-string acoustic concert harp used primarily for orchestral and chamber venues. She also has a 36-string Triplett Celtic harp which she uses for teaching and Celtic music venues. Her favorite newest harp is a Rainbow finish Salvi 47-string electroacoustic harp.

The finish is an iridescent color and is aqua, purple or blue depending on the lighting behind it or on it.
