Dear friends of Harp music,
With this lovely weather outside, I would love to invite you to events where you will be able to hear the harp in the month of May.Tomorrow, we close our season of Harp and Healing at 5:30 at Broadway Christian Church. Whether are you are in need of healing – physical, emotional, or healing from grief, or whether you just want to quiet down with calming and relaxing live Harp music and meditations by Pastor Terry Overfelt, you’re more than welcome to attend this free 45 minute long event.The next event I warmly invite you to is happening this Sunday May 7th at 6 PM at Broadway Christian Church. It is a Harp Recital given by all my students! They are all so talented, bringing first and second prize is from the Kansas City Lyra harp competition and the best ratings from the Federation of Music Clubs! I have two graduating seniors whom I have been teaching for last 10 years and this is your last chance to hear them for a while in Columbia! So, don’t miss this chance and come to the Harp recital on Sunday! It will be about an hour in length and you will hear performance on lever harp as well as pedal harp. If you know of anyone, child or adult interested in learning to play the harp, please invite them to this recital. I will have openings in my studio next semester and a beginner instrument available for rent.On Saturday May 13th, I will be performing with the Springfield symphony, a wonderful evening of opera, operetta , and musical Melodies with the International opera star Michael Spyres and the Spyres family.https://www.springfieldmosymphony.org/concerts/may/power-balladsLastly, I will be playing several weddings this month as it is peak wedding season.
