February 2019 Newsletter

Dear friends of harp music, with the new month I would like to invite you to some events that I will participating in with my music. But first let me tell you about a few highlights from this past January. I enjoyed playing with the MU Wind Ensemble in concert in Saint Louis ( Touhill Center ) and at the Missouri Music Educators conference at the Lake ( Tan-Tar-A). While our church hosted the Room at the Inn ( homeless shelter)  in January, I took my harp and played for the guests. I have done this  annually for a few years now and both I and the guests enjoy the experience. We talk, and I play some songs and it's very special. Personally, I loved the snow and all the school days off, when life slows down, kids stay home from school and we can go sledding and build snowmen, I hope there is yet more to come! So here is my February Calendar: Tuesday 5th Harp and Healing, Broadway Christian Church, 5.30PM, Loft. Monthly service of meditative and therapeutic live harp music and inspirational word by Pastor Terry Overfelt intended for those in need of any kind of healing, be it physical, emotional or relational.Saturday 9th, Springfield Symphony Concert - Will You Be my Valentine, Hammons Hall, 7.30PM, Springfield MOTuesday 12th Harp Presentation for Kiwani Club, 12PM Broadway Hotel, Columbia, MOThursday 14th, Valentine's Day Dinner music, Club at Old Hawhthorne, 6PM - 9PM, Columbia, MO.
