Meet Marie Nivel

Legend tells us that the harp is a magical instrument played by fairies. The Tuatha De Dannan, the sidhe or fairy people from Ireland, are said to spellbind humans with the sweet sound of the harp. Often people disappear to the otherworld to never be seen again…

It was in England when I befriended a local folk band, that I caught sight of the harp.

I was mesmerized by its sound and beautiful appearance. I knew that I needed this instrument in my life, I just didn’t knew when and how.

Some years later I finally had the possibility to buy my own harp, this is where the story begun. Read more…


”Your music created the most beautiful atmosphere for the ceremony.”

–Mirjam H.


”I hope you will soon be back with more beautiful harp music and ballads.”

– Linda Lie / Lindbo Pensjonat




“Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter — to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.”

~Albert Schweitzer
