Professional harpist Melanie Mashner is passionate about bringing joy to the people around her through music. Melanie is the Principal Harpist of the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra as well as the Carmel (IN) Symphony Orchestra. She also maintains a private harp, cello, and piano studio in northern Indianapolis.

Melanie grew up in Rochester, New York, and received her MM, BM, and Performer’s Certificate from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in Bloomington, IN.

Melanie lived in Vienna, Austria, for six months where she worked with Vienna Philharmonic harpist, Anneleen Lenaerts, as the Global Leader Award recipient from the National Society of Leadership and Success. She was also a scholarship recipient at the 2018 Bowdoin International Music Festival, studying with renowned harpist June Han.

Melanie has won numerous awards for the harp, including the prestigious IU Harp Department Concerto Competition. She performs frequently as a chamber artist, orchestral harpist, and soloist throughout the Midwest and northeastern United States. Melanie was also selected as a featured performer in the Orchestral Audition Showcase of the 2022 World Harp Congress in Cardiff, Wales.

An educator at heart, and as the program coordinator of the 2019 11th USA International Harp Competition, Melanie was thrilled to bring harp music and education to over 1800 children and adults across Indiana as the head of their educational outreach program, Harp Start.

Melanie enjoys collaborating with local musicians and composers, as well as with her sister, flutist Melissa Mashner, as a member of their “Angelus Duo.”
