Christmas Harp Music in St. Louis
This is the third time I have been invited to play for services at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Creve Coeur. It’s always good to be back! The prelude begins about ten minutes prior to the service, and the music director requested Christmas music, both classical and sacred. This included the “Pastorale” from the Christmas […]

Christmas Eve ~ Central IL Harpist
This year, we were back in-person at College Park Christian Church! I’ve played for their Christmas Eve services for several years.

Music included traditional Christmas carols, […]

Church Music Harpist ~ Manchester UMC
The music of the harp is a wonderful complement to any worship service. From classical music to traditional or contemporary hymns, a harpist can play for all aspects of the service. For this service at Manchester United Methodist Church, I played for the prelude, passing of the peace, offertory, and postlude. I also played along […]
Bloomington-Normal Harpist – Christmas Eve Harp Music
Back at College Park Christian Church for Christmas Eve! I played there last year, and the music director contacted me again in January to be sure they got on my calendar again for this year.
