Auburn, Indiana Harpist ~ Duesenberg Museum Wedding
On New Year’s Eve, I was part of a harp duet for a wedding reception at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum in Auburn, Indiana. For the cocktail hour, we were set up in the showroom of the museum, surrounded by classic cars. The harps looked (and sounded) amazing in there! The music we played included […]
Northern Indiana Harpist ~ Goshen College Wedding
I love December weddings! My last wedding ceremony of the year was on December 19th – a Sunday afternoon. When all of the students have left for the semester, college campuses are so peaceful, and even more so when they are covered with a light blanket of snow. This ceremony was held in Rieth Recital Hall […]
Northern Indiana Harpist
On December 12th, I was scheduled to play a Christmas concert on the harp at the Peabody Public Library in Columbia City, Indiana. A winter storm threatened to drop two feet of snow on Northern Indiana, but the show went on! It never got quite as bad as predicted, and a little bad weather never […]
Southwest Michigan Wedding Harpist ~ St. Mary’s Catholic, Niles, MI
Out of all my December weddings this year, this was the only one that wanted Christmas music! I had been working with the mother of the bride primarily, and her goal was to incorporate her family’s Irish heritage into a traditional Polish-style wedding. There isn’t a better way to do that than with the music of […]
Christmas Harp Music ~ Elkhart & Mishawaka Indiana
During the holiday season, even weeknights are popular for parties! There is one law office whose party I’ve played for since 2006, and it’s always a good time! Each year, it’s been held on a Tuesday evening at the Midwest Museum of American Art in Elkhart, IN. They set up a beautiful buffet of appetizers, […]
Fort Wayne Harpist ~ Embassy Theatre Christmas Party
The 2010 holiday season started off with a great party at an amazing venue – the Embassy Theatre in Fort Wayne, Indiana. One of my favorite things about playing the harp is that I get to see such beautiful places, and when they are all decorated for Christmas, it’s even more impressive! The lobby of the […]
Northpoint Afternoon Adventures Harp Class
The parents of one of my piano students asked if I would be interested in teaching a 5-week class at their elementary school, and I jumped at the chance! I spent those five weeks with nine students, grades 1 through 5, at Northpoint Elementary School in Granger, IN. During the first week, the room was full of […]
Wish Upon a Wedding St. Louis Gala
Earlier this month, I was thrilled to be able to partner with Wish Upon a Wedding St. Louis for their Blissful Wishes Ball. This event raised $16,000 to help provide elegant weddings for couples facing terminal illness. From their website: “Wish Upon a Wedding is the world’s first nonprofit wish granting organization providing weddings and vow […]
Notre Dame Wedding Reception Harpist
The Notre Dame campus is the site for hundreds of weddings each year. Usually, it’s a bustling place to be, but this wedding was on the weekend of Fall Break. Much easier to find parking and navigate the sidewalks with the harp! The Oak Room was the setting for the cocktail hour, and the dinner […]
Valparaiso Wedding Music ~ Valparaiso University Chapel of the Resurrection
Another beautiful fall day, and a beautiful setting for a wedding in the Valparaiso University Chapel. I graduated from VU with my music degree in 2001 (and Master’s in 2005), and it is always such a pleasure to get back on campus! The maid of honor for this wedding was also a harpist, and recommended […]
