About Maxine Molin-Rose
I am a professional freelance harpist based in the North West of England, available to play at weddings and events throughout Cheshire, Lancashire, Manchester, Cumbria, the Wirral, Merseyside, North Wales and Yorkshire.
I have always loved music and you could say that it is in my blood, as both of my parents were in the world renowned Halle Orchestra.
I attended my first concert aged 3 and it was there that I fell in love with the harp and decided that was what I wanted to do when I grew up.

I commenced piano lessons aged 4 and my life in music grew from there.
I went on to gain a place at the highly acclaimed Chetham’s School of Music where I furthered my studies under eminent harpist Elinor Bennett.
At aged 10 I won my first music festival. Aged 15 I performed my first concerto and aged 16 I made my professional concert debut at the former Freetrade Hall in Manchester.
From 1989 I have pursued a busy freelance career with some of the UK’s leading Symphony, Opera and Ballet Orchestras including the Halle, BBC Philharmonic, Opera North, National Symphony Orchestra, Moscow City Ballet, English National Ballet, City Ballet of London and Saint Petersburg Ballet.
I also have pursued a solo career performing concertos and recitals. I have entertained royalty, and worked with a range of celebrities as diverse as tenor Russell Watson and rapper Kanye West. I also particularly enjoy adding the beauty of the harp to private performances such as weddings, birthdays, corporate events and many more.
Here are just some of the locations where I have been booked by clients on FixTheMusic for weddings and events...

Weddings & Events
The music of the harp brings a beautiful, ethereal and sophisticated touch to any event and can really help to set the tone and ambience of your occasion.
Whether you choose to add the beauty and passion of the harp to your wedding, party, business/corporate event, funeral or any other occasion.
Particularly popular at weddings, the harp has been a part of special ceremonies for hundreds of years.
The harp’s distinctive sound quality will set both you and your guests in the perfect frame of mind for a truly perfect day.
Also as the harp requires no electronic amplification, is surprisingly portable and takes up very little space, it can be the perfect choice for small or unusual venues. For the larger venue the Harp can be amplified.
I offer a range of packages to suit your requirements and for weddings this includes your Ceremony (Church or Civil), Drinks Reception, Wedding Breakfast, or any combination of these.
I have an extensive repertoire covering timeless classical pieces, popular music, folk music, musicals and a wide selection of Bollywood songs that are perfect for Asian Weddings.
I am happy to help you select your perfect music and if I do not already have a favoured piece, I will endeavour to source the music required to personalise your event.
Melandra Duo
Along with solo harp performances the Melandra Duo, which also features either the flute or clarinet, is available for hire and can be especially suited to larger events.
