Gladstone, OR 97027

Our concert at Crossroads Coffee Cafe on June 4th was a great success! It was delightful to share our music with a packed house (standing room only) of eager listeners. We were sad to hear that people had to be turned away, so we're doing another concert to accommodate everyone. We're looking forward to another evening of music, and hope to see you there.

Harp From Around The World

Earlier this month I was thrilled to be able to have private lessons with world-renowned harpists Grainne Hambly and William Jackson.  Ever since I saw them in concert, I have wanted to get a private lesson with Grainne.  When I saw that she was coming out for Laura Zaerr's harp retreat, I wrote her asking if it would be possible to arrange a private lesson. As it turned out, William, or Billie, was coming with her as well. Our house is right on the way from the Portland airport, to Eugene, where they were performing, so everything worked out perfectly! I got a forty-five minute lesson with Billie in Scottish music, then switched gears and had a forty-five minute lesson with Grainne in Irish music. Meanwile the rest of my family served lunch and had a great time hearing traveling and performance stories.  Hopefully I will be incorporating some of the things I learned into our upcoming concerts.  It was a wonderful experience!
