Mary Lester, Celtic harpist and singer

Mary Lester, Celtic Harper & Singer

Mary Lester
"Beautiful, special, unique, gentle, magnificent"- so have Mary Lester's vocal and harp music been described. She sings with clarity, emotion and power; her harps intertwine, provide the magical background, playfully following her voice.
The harp also holds forth on its own, providing a melodic background that can dance and soothe.

Since 1985, Mary has been featured in concerts, weddings and funerals; played background music for restaurant dining and receptions (art, wedding, open house); performed in the more customary locations and those less likely-in a canoe floating on a lake, by a woodland waterfall, and amidst an apple orchard.

This web site is the showcase for Mary's music. Here you'll find sample recordings, repertoire and complete program listings, testimonials and how you can get Mary to perform at your event.

Harp
Mary has three harps - two are wire-strung and modeled on ancient Celtic harps, one for the lap and the other standing 4 1/2 feet from the floor. The other harp is a small, 28-inch nylon-strung model.
