About Katherine Tay

Early beginnings

I started learning the harp when I was four years old, giving my first solo performance at my kindergarten graduation. Since then, my journey as a harpist has taken me to many stages across Singapore.

Ensemble Training & Performance Experience

In my earlier years, I trained with harp and guitar ensembles, including the harp trio with Magdalene Wong (2005-2013), Harps Unlimited (2008–2009), PL Cherubs (2010–2013), and NP Strings (2014–2016). We performed at concerts, malls, competitions, and hospitals — experiences that shaped my familiarity with live performances.

Solo Performances at Singapore Venues

Now in my late 20s, I’ve had the joy of performing at some of Singapore’s most beautiful venues — accumulating over 500 hours of performing solo at afternoon tea sessions in The Fullerton Hotel, Raffles Hotel, Shangri-La Hotel, and The St. Regis Singapore.

In addition to hotel performances, I also perform at private events including weddings and corporate dinners.

My solo repertoire focuses on English pop songs and beloved movie themes. I perform entirely from memory, without a music stand for a more elegant stage presence.
