Harpist Marina Zaitseva

While guests are finding their seats in the lobby, the most valuable time is wasted: someone is standing at the entrance with a glass, someone is checking email on their phone, and the atmosphere of the evening has not yet formed. The live harp solves this in the first minutes — the hall fills up, and the conversation naturally becomes quieter and warmer.

Marina Zaitseva plays the concert harp. The instrument is rare: its mere appearance in the hall is enough to change the mood. The sound is soft, warm, and does not interfere with guests' conversation — that is why the harpist is most often booked for guest welcoming and a welcome cocktail when the hall is just filling up. The repertoire includes popular classics, romantic pieces, jazz themes, foreign hits of the 20th century, movie music, and Christmas melodies.

Her background includes working as a background musician at the BMW X5 presentation, a reception at the Lithuanian Consulate for Flag Day, and the anniversary of Ives Delorme. Marina greeted guests at the Konstantinovsky Palace in Strelna, performed in the halls of St. Petersburg hotels Astoria, Grand Hotel Europe, and Corinthia Nevskij Palace, as well as at government meetings in St. Petersburg — including during the visit of Slovenian President Danilo Türk in November 2010. On site, it looks calm and precisely on tone: the harp does not draw attention to itself but holds the background, under which it is convenient both to meet and to negotiate at the buffet counter.

Marina works in St. Petersburg: corporate event, company anniversary, presentation, New Year's evening. Leave your number — we will check for an available date and quote the fee.
