Kristen is a graduate of the California Institute of the Arts with a BFA in Harp Performance with a Voice Minor. She has toured nationally with the New Christy Minstrels, and played with such names as Ray Charles, Tony Bennet, Victor Borge and Shirley Jones.

String of Pearls (Trio or Quartet) has over 20 years of experience playing for weddings, parties, and concerts throughout the Washington area. Some of our concert venues include the Woodrow Wilson Plaza Concert Series, the Harmony Hall Afternoon Tea Concert Series, the Friendship Heights Community Center, and several of the retirement communities in the region.

The weddings we have played are far too numerous to count. We pride ourselves on understanding that, for a bride, her wedding is one of the most important days of her life—and we are committed to making it as special as possible.

Our playlists include all of the classical favorites, as well as pop tunes to please guests of all ages, helping to create a warm and memorable musical experience for every event we are part of.
