Miriam Weber Brown

After months of planning my parents’ 50^th anniversary party, of agonizing decisions over silly things like seating charts and what sort of chilled soup to serve (white peach), my father dropped a last minute surprise into the mix: «I want a harp.» Lucky for him and all our guests, I found Miriam Weber Brown, who graciously agreed to the last-​minute gig, and proceeded to knock us out.
Ms. Weber Brown, who can be found at
, made our night. Her repertoire is extensive, and many of her selections are sampled on her website, so potential clients can get a preview of her talent. In addition, she was more than happy to add several favorite tunes to her extensive collection, so that my parents could have everything they wanted. Her range includes classical, show tunes, pop, rock, jazz, big band, and so much more, and her magical fingers make each song sound as if the original artists composed it for her harp.
The harp itself is gold, and drew a stream of party guests to her corner of the room, where she happily answered questions as she played. I had explained in advance that her role would be to provide background music during the entire event, and she was so easy to work with on this. Miriam is charming and graceful, and she is not a diva. Even before she played for us, she was quick to respond to my constant stream of messages.
Miriam has performed at public and private events throughout the Columbus area, to rave reviews from brides, restaurateurs, and more. In addition to playing as a soloist, she also works closely with a flutist to offer an additional option.
Her rates are competitive and when a restaurant glitch added an extra hour to our event, she discreetly came to me and offered to play on… a most welcome encore for only a small additional fee, and worth every penny. I can’t imagine how her fingers felt after four hours of playing with only two short breaks, but the smile never left her face.
To answer the obvious, she is wildly talented, and over a month later, our guests are still raving about what she added to our evening. Miriam loves what she’s doing and that joy flows out in her music. Brava!
