She bridges both folk and classical harp worlds, tackling complex classical works on the lever harp by skillfully shifting levers mid-piece—a remarkable feat to watch. A San Francisco native, she began her lessons on a lever harp, at the age of 9, with Diana Stork, who inspired early compositions, improvisation and playing in a variety of youth ensembles, including the Bay Area Youth Harp Ensemble. She graduated from the San Francisco School of the Arts High School, performing Laura Zaerr’s “Celtic Concerto” and releasing her first solo album, \u003ci\u003eSeeking Peace\u003c\/i\u003e, in her senior year. Romano’s musical journey has taken her from a year in South Africa to tours across Europe, the southern United States, and the Pacific Northwest, sharing her passion for expanding the lever harp’s classical potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: blue;\"\u003e*\u003ci\u003eMost classes and workshops are geared towards late-teens and adults.
