Courtney Lawhn
Harpist — Evanston, Illinois
Playing the harp in the Chicago area is both my specialty and my passion. With a Master of Music from the Chicago College of Performing Arts and a Bachelor of Music from Northwestern University, my musical pedigree is thoroughly Chicagoan. In fact, so are my accomplishments: I've been an active part of Chicago's music scene for nearly a decade, and during that time I've performed with ensembles ranging from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Chicago Lyric Opera to the backup band for mariachi king Vicente Fernandez in front of a screaming crowd of 20,000 at the Allstate Arena. For much more information, go to www.chicago-harpist.com or e-mail me at courtneylawhn@yahoo.com.

After years of performing all over the world and recording seven highly acclaimed albums of original and traditional music, his ability to become "one" with the audience, sharing spontaneous tears and abundant laughter, is something wonderful to experience.
