About Danielle
Harpist · Teacher · Collaborator
Danielle Kuntz is a harpist who helps composers, harpists, and audiences experience new music for the harp. As a harp notation coach, she has mentored dozens of composers through workshops, university residencies, and individual coaching sessions, and has commissioned, co-commissioned, and/or premiered more than 40 new compositions since 2017.
In addition to her work with composers, Danielle is an active solo and chamber performer with professional orchestral experience. Her work includes performances at festivals and new music events, as well as artist residencies at universities across the United States.
Danielle also teaches adult students in her private studio and online via Zoom. Her solution-focused approach helps students meet their goals and work through specific technical and musical challenges using functional technique, music theory, and harp literature.
She holds a Master of Music in Harp Performance from the University of North Texas and is currently based in Raleigh, North Carolina.
My passion is helping composers and performers bring new harp music to life.
