About Stefania
I’m an Italian harpist who has had the pleasure of performing across the UK and Italy, both as a soloist and as part of ensembles. I’ve played at private events in venues like the National Gallery, Natural History Museum, and Drapers Hall. Recently, I completed my Master of Performance and Bachelor of Music at the Royal College of Music in London with excellent results. I’ve also had the honour of performing for HRH Prince of Wales, HRH Duke of York, and HRH Duchess of York at exclusive venues in London. I’ve been involved in film music recordings at the Belle Shenkman Studio and with the RCM Philharmonic Orchestra, working with conductors Martyn Brabbins and Esa-Pekka Salonen.
My harp journey began at age 7 at the Conservatorio di Musica Vincenzo Bellini in Palermo, and I later completed my studies at the Conservatorio di Musica Puccini in Lucca. I’ve participated in prestigious masterclasses with Ieuan Jones and Emanuela Degli Esposti in Italy and many more with acclaimed musicians at the Royal College of Music, including Catrin Michel, Marisa Robles, and Jana Bouskova, who’ve passed on invaluable techniques.
At 11, I won first prize at the Concorso Nazionale per Giovani Musicisti in Italy, and today, I teach harp and perform at weddings, private parties, corporate events, and receptions. As one of London’s most experienced wedding harpists, I’ve played in many of the city’s top hotels and private clubs, including The Dorchester, Royal Automobile Club, Park Lane Hilton, Chiltern Firehouse, and Annabel’s Club.

Stefania played at the opening reception for Luxury and Power: Persia to Greece, our new exhibition. She played beautifully and absolutely enhanced the event, it wouldn’t have been the same without her. She had a diverse range of songs that she played and was highly praised by both staff and guests.

Stefania is an asset to any stage, event or experience. Her warm and grounded demeanour makes it very easy to collaborate together. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, meaning that not only does she remain cool as a cucumber under any pressure or changes, but she also brings suggestions on how to make her performance even better for you and more tailored to your event. She has a huge repertoire of both classical and contemporary music and is very good at judging the mood of a space and playing accordingly. We highly recommend working with Stefania, if you would like your event to shine.

Stefania was just perfect. Such a lovely lady - so warming, calm and kind. We asked her to wear an outfit to suit the theme of our event and not only did she hit the brief perfectly, but she was so smart and presentable. Stefania did a mix of classical and contemporary songs on the harp at our event and we were blown away by her talent - the guests loved her. It made the event very special and memorable. We had specific times for her to play and she was always ready to go with a smile on her face. I would highly recommend working with Stefania. I know I will be in the future.

Stefania was an absolute dream from start to finish, and I could not have imagined our day without her. She was able to cater for our electric tastes in music perfectly for our day and nothing was ever too much trouble. She is an incredible musician and a beautiful soul inside and out. I hope we get to use her again some day and I cannot recommend her enough

I came to the first online class with Stefania without even the slightest idea how to approach a harp. I was excited to try the instrument but unsure if it was for me. By the end of the class I was certain the harp was coming home with me. Stefania’s enthusiasm for playing the harp is contagious. After every class I feel energised and excited to practice new exercises and pieces. Thanks to Stefania’s guidance I see quick and steady progress from class to class. I adore her personalised approach where I am free to choose the pieces that speak to me. So I spend my time practicing the melodies I truly connect with. Stefania helps me fight my doubts. She knows how make things accessible for those who like me have no musical education whatsoever. I can highly recommend Stefania as a teacher if you want to enjoy the learning process as well as see constant improvement.

Working with Stefania was such a smooth process from initial conversations through to the day of our wedding. She was very helpful with all of the questions we had and gave great advice to us when helping choose the music. We really valued her input and were grateful that she learnt a song for us that we loved. She is an extremely personable person with a professional approach, making her so easy to work with. We would highly recommend Stefania!
