DANIELLE RIEGEL
Danielle is an internationally acclaimed concert harpist and versatile artist.
As a highly sensitive and intuitive child, she was drawn to the arts from an early age. She was admitted to the young talent department of the Royal Conservatory (Netherlands) at the age of 12, which marked the beginning of a successful international career as a soloist, chamber musician, and principal orchestra harpist. Danielle is a prizewinner of several major national and international harp competitions.
She has performed all over the world with renowned musicians and maestros at prestigious music festivals and concert halls in cities such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna, Paris, and Madrid, among others. For 15 years, she served as the principal harpist of the Symphony Orchestra of The Hague, Netherlands. Her performances have been broadcast several times on Dutch National Television, and she had the honor of performing for Queen Beatrix at her 50th jubilee at the royal palace.
Driven by her passion for expanding horizons and inspired by her love for world folk and medicine music, she has engaged in new collaborations, most recently with Ayla Schafer, performing at sold-out concerts in Lisbon, Antwerp, and Amsterdam and recording for her new album.
Continuously seeking artistic growth, Danielle has been exploring improvisation and arranging while incorporating other instruments and electronic elements like a looper. This has allowed her to create enchanting and immersive soundscapes that showcase her dedication to evolving as an artist.
In 2020, Danielle moved to Portugal, from where she offers harp concerts, sound journeys, 1:1 sessions, and qigong classes and regularly plays at events and weddings.
In 2022 and 2023, she performed as a soloist and alongside soprano Carla Pontes at the Algarve Harp Festival.
Most recently she deeply moved the participants of the Ecstatic Dance Festival Holland 2025 with her mesmerizing performances
Since 2010, Danielle also developed and shared her intuitive talents. She has taught yoga, qigong, dance expression, and Argentine tango. She also began offering sound healing sessions, Reiki, massages, and holistic coaching.
In 2020 Danielle created the much sought after ‘Meditative Harp concerts’, a ceremonial space that starts with a sound journey with sacred instruments and a heart opening meditation, followed by an intimate concert with Meditative harp music.
And ‘The Reconnection Journey’, a unique method in which she combines her expertise as a certified harp therapist, sound healer, bodyworker, and life coach to help people reconnect with their bodies, hearts, and souls. Her approach guides individuals in rediscovering the wholeness within themselves and unveiling their authentic selves.
Over the course of her 35+ year career, Danielle has come to realize that this is her soul’s purpose. She is passionate about creating meaningful musical experiences and building personal connections with audiences, clients, and students.
