Harpist Kristina Finch and her husband Dannel Espinoza are taking on ownership of the Virginia Harp Centers and the Atlanta Harp Center, following the retirement of previous owners David and MJ D’Arville. “For decades, David and MJ D’Arville built a legacy of excellence, community, and love for the harp. We’re deeply grateful for their vision and honored to carry that legacy forward,” Finch says in a social media post. The D’Arvilles opened their first store location in 1997 in Richmond, Virginia. They were featured on the cover interview in the January/February 2003 issue of Harp Column. Learn more on the Virginia Harp Center website and the Atlanta Harp Center website.
