Stephanie Curcio has a long, well established reputation in the world of harp. Born, bred and trained in New York City, she attended the High School of Music & Art (currently known as the Lincoln Center School for the Arts) where she was introduced to the harp. Within months of starting, she began lessons with Lucille Lawrence and later coached with Carlos Salzedo both privately and at the Camden Harp Colony. After having obtained multiple degrees in music (harp and piano) as well as in psychology (human learning), she went on to build a long, illustrious career as a solo, ensemble, and orchestral harpist, a teacher, arranger, and composer.
