Hello friends of harp music!

December is right behind the door and I want to share some of the concerts that I participate in with you.

Attached is the poster for my concert at the Columbia public library tomorrow night – December 1st at 7pm. It’s free and open to public. I will be playing variety of repertoire and 2 of my talented students Jenny Lynn and Ruth Acuff will join me in a harp trio as well.

On December 2nd at 5.15 and 7pm I will take part playing for Columbia College Lighting Ceremony, the concerts are in CC chapel.

The ceremony, free and open to the public, consists of the lighting of more than 4,500 white lights that illuminate the exterior of the campus throughout the holiday season. The college president along with the Student Government Association (SGA) president leads a countdown. At zero, the lights burst into view (from west to east) on the peaks and gables of Hughes Hall, Launer Auditorium, St. Clair Hall, Dorsey Hall, Atkins-Holman Student Commons and Missouri Hall.

Harps of my students will be sounding this weekend as well at the Annual Holiday Home Tour at the University of Missouri President’s Residence.
