Sound has the ability to transport the human spirit to different states of consciousness. People have been aware of this since ancient times. Wordless sound transom messages that are accompanied by states ranging from tension to relaxation, uneasiness to a sense of well -being.
It is my intention to provide music that facilitates a journey, visiting several different attributes of life, culminating in a sense of serenity and inspiration.
De Luna was born on the island of Malta, one of the small group of three islands in the Mediterranean sea (owned by Britain at the time) to a Maltese mother and an English /Irish father. Because of her father's work, the family moved frequently between the British Isles and Malta. At the age of ten, De Luna and her family moved to Brooklyn, NY
Music has played a very important part in De Luna's life, offering her the comforts and deep joy through her many transitions. The harp came into her life in 1991 when she was given one by a parting friend. She moved to the mountains and became totally enchanted with the joy of playing the harp and actually taught herself to play. She spent countless hours exploring, experiencing and studying the harp. From her varied travels, she developed an interest in music from all parts of the world. She became interested n classical Indian music and studied with Sitar master - Roop Verma. She now has released three CDs that have a soulful mix of traditional music from many parts of the world and original compositions. De Luna now lives in New Hampshire playing at festivals, special events and many other venues.
I am still available and happy to play for weddings, concerts, house concerts, receptions, Memorials, Social events, Corporate events, Childrens and Senior Programs, bedside visits for the invalid, and any special event that you would like harp music for.
