Harp Music for Christmas Eve

For the past four years, I’ve spent Christmas Eve playing prelude for two services at College Park Christian Church.  Although it was pre-recorded rather than in-person, I was back again this year! I also recorded harp solo selections for Wesley Chapel in Jacksonville, and you can view the whole service: https://fb.watch/2Hk1V51Sq-/. On Christmas Eve, I […]

Christmas Harp Concert | Advent Allegro Series

Another harp solo Christmas concert!  This was part of the Advent Allegro series at Faith Lutheran Church in Jacksonville, Illinois.  Coming back to this church was especially meaningful for me – it was where I had my very first harp performance, just a couple of months after my first lesson.  I’ve certainly improved since then!
