As a gift to their church community, a couple hired me to play for the Thanksgiving morning service at Trinity Lutheran Church in downtown Springfield. With a November wedding, Thanksgiving often falls on their anniversary, and this is one way they celebrate!
Along with playing for the prelude and with the organist for the hymns, I accompanied the choir on the John Rutter arrangement of the Schulz hymn “We Plow the Fields and Scatter.” Getting the harp up to the balcony was no easy feat, without an elevator and with a winding staircase! I actually moved it up the day before, just in case there were any issues – and to give my arms a chance to recover!
While most of my bookings are for weddings, I am also available to play for concerts, church services, and other events throughout Central Illinois. Visit my website ~ Central Illinois Harpist ~ to discuss the details of the music you are planning!
