Mitch Landy combines a classical music education with his own eclectic musical tastes, bringing a fresh approach to the harp. He lived in Philadelphia until 1991, and was very involved in the city's Irish music community. His involvement with Irish music exposed him to the magic of the Celtic harp, and he went on to adapt pieces from the classical literature to the harp, an instrument traditionally associated with Irish music.

Soon after, he learned to play the concert harp , with its greater facility to handle the key changes and complex harmonies of classical and pop music.

Mitch won 2nd prize on the Celtic harp at the 1995 International Pop & Jazz Harpfest, and now focuses his talents on the rich harmonic potential of the pedal harp, arranging jazz classics from the 20’s and 30’s, as well as contemporary music, and improvisation; and of course, classical pieces. Never limiting himself to an existing repertoire of published harp music, he continues to perform mostly his own arrangements, and brings a unique to everything he plays.

In addition to playing at weddings and gala events, Mitch has also performed solo concerts in the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as restaurants and tea rooms.

A harp creates a beautiful and romantic mood like no other instrument. All the joy, the love, the hopefulness of the occasion can be expressed in the harp’s music. With a broad repertoire to select from, Mitch will put together a program to match your preferences for your perfect wedding day.
