Marilyn has always been a musician (singer, organist, pianist) but in 1990 she fell in love with the harp and has made it her musical focus since that time.

She holds a Bachelor of Music in Organ, a Masters and Dortorate in Voice, and has taught music on the college level for many years. She has been a organist and choirmsaster of several churches.

Marilyn performs widely in North Carolina with church orchestras, for weddings, receptions, parties and other events.  Playing the harp professionally is a great joy to her and is a major part of her life.  She especially enjoys adding elegance and sacred space through harp music for weddings.
