Artist description Donna Adams-Profeta is a singer/songwriter turned harper. Having immersed herself in early music, her lyrical creations sometimes emulate one style and at other times merge several influences. Her voice is sweet and particularly well suited to her simple, yet expressive style of playing and her recordings are further enhanced by the sensitive arrangements of husband/studio engineer/musician, John Profeta.

Artist History A singer/songwriter since high school, Donna searched for years for the right musical niche and the instrument with which to accompany herself. Eight years ago, she discovered her affinity with ancient music and the Celtic Harp and has since gravitated more to the instrumental end, writing pieces for small consorts in addition to harp and vocal works. Donna has developed a vocal/instrumental repertoire interpreting Scottish renaissance music, medieval, and 'Art Fine' pieces, in addition to numerous original works.

Press Reviews "The world would be a better place if there were more harpists in it, especially ones who create thoughtful, enjoyable albums of original and interpretive material like this one." Metroland Critic, J. Eric Smith, in his listing of the 10 best Local CD's of 2001 (Capital District, NY)************ "It may be the memory of my celtic blood, or the romance of Shakespeare's sonnet, but regardless of personal bias Donna Adams-Profeta's celtic harp is a secret weapon in a sea of spoken word. With a number of Top 10 pieces this New York artist defines a delightful poetic niche that will pull you in and keep you listening through the day and long into the good night."
