Dear friends of harp music,

 

I hope you had a wonderful relaxing summer! I was able to see my family and friends in Slovakia and England and had a great time visiting, relaxing, hiking and traveling.

 

I am back in US, performing and teaching and I hope to see you at one of these events 🙂

 

Harp and Healing – tomorrow night, Tuesday September 5th at 6pm. Join us for 45 minutes of uplifting meditations and relaxing music. Bring a friend along to share this experience. It is hard to describe this service that started 12 years ago and continues on every first Tuesday September through May, but someone in the past described it to me as “this felt like a massage for the soul”. It’s free and open to all.

This service will take place in Broadway Christian Church, new starting time this year – 6pm. We are also branching out a bit this year, collaborating with various other churches on this monthly service, so our October Harp and Healing will be at the Rock Bridge Christian Church. If you think your church would be interested in this collaboration in the future, please let me know.

On Sunday September 10th, I am happy to return to a wedding venue dear to my heart to meet future brides and tell them about the beauty of live music for their wedding. The Emerson Fields Open House is a great place to meet my favorite wedding vendors and see the venue in its full beauty. So if you know of anyone getting married this or next year, please tell them about this free event taking place between 4pm – 6pm this Sunday. If you wish to attend, please RSVP here: https://www.emersonfields.com/rsvp

Some of you know that my husband and I started Missouri Academy of Music a couple of years ago that serves and educates young string musicians in Columbia. Our first rehearsal this school year is on September 12th and the registration is open to string players age 7 – 18. If you know of a young violinist, violist, cellist or bass player, please tell them about the Academy, where they can play in an orchestra, chamber music, learn about music theory and much more!

And finally – I will be releasing a new album called Sacred Harp. It’s a solo harp album full of hymns, therapeutic and classical music. I hope you will join me for the CD release party on September 30th. I will have a CD release party – open house style at my house between 5 and 7pm. We will have good food, drinks and the new CDs for sale! Excited to have this opportunity to connect with friends. Save the date, official invitation is coming!
