Nichole is so friendly, sweet and talented. Her harp music was a beautiful, romantic addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour. She worked with us to create a list of songs and was so easy to work with. We’d recommend her to anyone!!!
Nichole played the harp during our wedding ceremony this past weekend and it was absolutely perfect! We received so many compliments on how beautiful the music was! Working with Nichole ahead of the wedding was so simple and she even learned a ...

Thank you so much, Allison!! It was lovely to be a part of your wedding!! I'm so glad that you and your guests enjoyed the music. I absolutely loved learning your special request songs!
I wrote the Flute-Viola-Harp trio "Sandcat Lullaby" as a surprise birthday gift for my wife. Nichole arranged for her friends (Jennifer Gosack-Darwell, Flute; Colleen Kuraszek, Viola) to join her, and handled all the logistics.
Normally we wou...
ld have invited them to our home, but circumstances dictated a remote performance. All the same, Nichole, Jen and Colleen dressed for the concert hall – just one more mark of their all-around professionalism. Their enthusiasm for the piece is greatly appreciated, and their performance was excellent; all that a composer could wish for. My hope is that someday we can arrange for a high-quality recording for release.
So it was a joyous event! I’m recommending Nichole, Jen and Colleen without reservation. I’d work with any of them again, anytime. Each of them will enhance any event you can conjure. I hope we will have other occasions to work together.

Thank you, Greg!! We absolutely adore your piece for Harp, Flute, & Viola and it was such an honor to be the first musicians to debut it. Performing your piece for you and your wife was the absolute highlight of my month. Thank you, thank you, ...
thank you for trusting us with your piece and for the opportunity to be a part of this special birthday gift for your wife!
Any questions?
Amazing music for our ceremony! Nichole was very flexible and professional to work with! We had her play for our cocktail hour too, but honestly, we really didn't need any music because everyone was so chatty.
