Barbara Fischer has never known a home without a harp. During summers in High School, she earned superior ratings in competitions, even before beginning formal study. Through her collegiate studies, Barbara has had the opportunity to play under renowned composer, conductor and clinician Dr. David R. Holsinger. In addition, she frequently adds musical ambiance to events in the community such as weddings, dinners and church services. Still, her main love is arranging music for the harp: especially gospel and pop. She loves the feeling of playing an “unharpistic” piece on an electric harp, and hopes to bring the harp off of the pedestal and it into the real world. Barbara has been published in a premier harp periodical, The American Harp Journal. She is currently attending Florida Gulf Coast University.
