Barbara Ann Fackler, harp, Akron, Ohio (formerly of Chicago)

Barbara Ann Fackler spent many years as an active freelance harpist in the greater Chicago area participating in a variety of performances from ensemble member to soloist.  She and her husband are currently focusing on original music and transcriptions for horn and harp. Many of her arrangements grew out of the needs of her adult students to find music that is accessible and useful to them. This music has been used in church services, harp circle performances, as background music during receptions and recitals. 

Barbara has performed concerti by Ravel, Debussy, Mozart and Ginastera. She toured France as featured soloist and principal harp with the International Congress of Musicians, toured with Woody Herman and the Thundering Herd for the group's Silver Anniversary Tour and has performed with musicians such as Peter Nero, Julio Iglesias, Pepe Romero, Millar Brass, and Richard Stoltzman.
