Dear friends of harp music,
I hope you are having a beautiful fall! I would like to challenge you to invite a friend and enjoy some live music this month!

First, I would like to invite you to my Harp Concert this Saturday, October 28th at 7.00pm in the 4th Street Theatre in Moberly. I know it’s 40 minutes away, but please consider coming. I don’t play solo recitals often due to my otherwise busy schedule, so it takes extra time and energy to prepare and it would be lovely to see a good turn out for this live performance. The concert will be about an hour in length and I will be covering music from classical, through romantic and popular to fun and one of a kind piece like the Baroque Flamenco!
For those of you who come to Harp and Healing, this is a very different energy level in a beautifully restored historic theatre!

Back here in Columbia, I will be collaborating with the Columbia Chorale on Chichester Psalms by Bernstein and Gloria by Poulenc. The performance will be on November 4th at 7.00pm at Launer Auditorium, Columbia College, 901 Rogers Street and the concert is called Perseverance of Hope.

Our Harp and Healing mission to bring this service to different churches in our community this year is off to a great start! In November we will be at the Missouri United Methodist Church, 204 S Ninth Street. The service will be as always on the first Tuesday, November 7th at 6pm. If you have someone in your life who could use some emotional, physical, relational or grief healing, please let them know about our free monthly service or even better, bring them along.

On November 11th, I will be playing a Beatles tribute program with the Springfield Symphony, in Springfield MO, which is always fun, as that’s some of my favorite music.

And finally the last public event on my calendar in November is a concert with Columbia College Choir on November 15th at 7pm at Sacred Heart Church. I have a short, but mighty number number on the program with them, the rest of the program will have a piano accompaniment or sung a capella.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like to include live harp music at your Holiday event in December! I am also booking events and wedding for 2024 at this time, it’s never too early to book your date!

And last but not least – Big heartfelt Thanks to everyone who showed up to my Sacred Harp CD release party on September 30th. We had a great time hosting and visiting with you! If you would like to listen to it, it’s available on all downloading and streaming platforms.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing you!

Maria
