Marilyn Wienand has been a musician all her life. She has studied in Vienna, Austria, and holds degrees in organ and voice, with a Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Colorado in Boulder. She was a college professor in voice and class piano for many years. She began playing the harp in 1990 and now makes that the major focus of her life. She owns a beautiful Salvi Aurora pedal harp, a Salvi Egan lever harp and also a 22 string lap harp which Karl built for her.
Marilyn performs widely in North Carolina with church orchestras, for weddings, receptions, parties and other events. Playing the harp professionally is a great joy to her.
Marilyn has always been interested in healing, and the harp was a natural for her to use in her healing work with people who are ill or dying. She volunteered at the Hospice unit of a large hospital in Charlotte, and for her local Hospice group, and often played in people's homes. People received a real blessing from her music. Much of the therapeutic music Marilyn played was written by Karl. In fact he wrote this beautiful harp music because Marilyn desired to have more things to play in the therapeutic situation.

 "I
love playing weddings. It is my intention that my harp
music help create an elegant and sacred atmosphere for
the ceremony. I enjoy watching the ceremony and sensing
the mystical change that takes place as the bride and
groom are united in the sacrament of marriage."

My new, beautiful harp from Italy -
|
Dear Marilyn,
I just had to write you and
let you know how wonderful I thought your playing at my
daughter's wedding was. Everyone that I have talked with
said it was so magical and the sound of the harp just
set the mood. It was absolutely beautiful. You helped
make the wedding that my daughter has always dreamed of
and for that I just say "Thank you and God bless."
