Oakville native Sharlene Wallace is both a Classical harpist and one of Canada’s most prolific and influential Celtic/lever harp players. She has won two international competitions and created seven independent CDs featuring many of her own compositions. Most recently she released a relaxing Christmas album, a collaboration with bass player George Koller, In Night’s Deep Silence.

Sharlene tours internationally giving concerts, workshops, masterclasses and adjudications. She also teaches both lever and pedal harps privately in Oakville, Guelph and Toronto as well as at Wilfred Laurier, York, and Guelph Universities. Her own Classical performance degree is from the University of Toronto where she studied with the eminent harpist Judy Loman. Sharlene is Principal Harpist with the Oakville, Guelph and Kingston Symphonies.
