About

Make your wedding unforgettable with the enchanting sounds of the kanklės, a traditional string instrument that brings a touch of magic and cultural elegance to your special day. As a seasoned kanklės player, I offer a unique musical experience that captivates guests with its beautiful tones and melodies. Whether you're looking for serene background music during the ceremony or lively tunes for the reception, my versatile repertoire and professional approach ensure a seamless and personalised performance.
The instrument shares the same repertoire as the harp or the piano. Therefore, I can perform a wide range of famous folk, classical, and Celtic harp tunes, among others. While some may associate it with the harp, the kanklės has a distinct sound that is nostalgic and sad, making it ideal for special occasions like weddings.
I can customise the programme to meet your needs, including arranging your chosen songs for your entrance and exit and adapting them to the kanklės.

Emilija Harpist is a wedding musician based in West London specialising in the enchanting stringed instrument, kanklės.
