Biography

Jana van der Walt is an accomplished musician and harpist based in Cape Town and began her musical tuition at the age of six. At age 11 she was introduced to the harp, and has since then pursued her love for the instrument with dedication and passion. She received a number of trophies for her harp playing and her orchestral experience has given her the opportunity to perform in some of the most recognisable concert halls in Europe, including the Berliner Philharmonie, Royal Palace in Stockholm, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw and the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie.

In 2013 Jana founded harpNOTED – a successful vehicle through which she pursues solo and ensemble performances, with a variety music from classical to contemporary. HarpNOTED believes that every client should have exactly what they want, she is therefore comfortable to customize her ensemble options and music styles to every client's specific needs in order to create a timeless and perfect event-suited atmosphere.

Her current involvement in the music community of the Mother City includes being an ad hoc member of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, forming part of various ensembles with a number of acclaimed musicians, and performing on a regular basis as soloist at a range  of  different  concerts,  events  and  festivals. Apart from her involvement with the arts Jana is also an accomplished architect practicing at an award-winning firm in Cape Town.

Client Feedback

"Thank you so much for making our dream wedding so special with your beautiful music! There are really no words to express the emotions I felt when I heard you play Ave Maria for my walk down the aisle, it is something I will always remember and cherish. Wedding planning is one of the most stressful times in a brides life and having a professional, enthusiastic and attentive service provider such as yourself is an absolute pleasure. The piece de resistance of course was the wonderful feedback from our guests, who described your playing as ethereal and heavenly. So thank you once again, I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking to add a personal and special touch to their wedding day or special occasion."  - Stephanie and Richard

"Troues oor die algemeen is stresvol so wanneer iemand oor jou pad kom wat hierdie proses ‘n klein bietjie makliker maak word dit opreg waardeer, en so was dit met Jana. Vriendelik, warm en toeganklik is die eerste woorde wat in my kop spring. Wat ‘n plesier was dit nie om haar deel van ons groot dag te kon he nie! Die gaste kon nie ophou praat oor die pragtige harp en harpis nie! Dit was absoluut die perfekte bydrae tot ons perfekte dag. Baie opregte dankies, Jana. Jy is ‘n superster." - Alecia en Andries.

"Thank you so much for the amazing Harp Playing at our Wedding. Everyone commented on your wonderful talent and it really made the wedding extra special! Thank you so much!" - Dr Kim Booysen

"We simply had to have a harpist at our wedding, not just any harpist but the best we could find! We wanted to represent our Irish roots and tie in with our Celtic wedding and guests - enter Jana. What Jana gave to us was special, it turned that humble little chapel into a memory for many. The music was left up to Jana and was just perfect, adding that something specially different. We had a Ceili Mor (HUGE Irish party) that evening with Irish dancers and band, but the most talked about was “the wonderful harpist” at the chapel! Thank you for making our day very special Jana." - Cathy & Derek 

"A huge thanks to you and your husband on the classical guitar for the amazing atmosphere u created. It was beautiful!" - Monique and Nathan -

"Thank you so much for your beautiful music on our big day! We enjoyed listening to you from the manor house while we were getting ready, it was absolutely AMAZING! and I definitely started crying when you switched to the wedding march… Your music is so beautiful and added such a touch of elegance to our special day! You were lovely to work with and I hope we can have you play for us again some day!"  - The Buckleys
