My Gentle Harp, Night of the Arts, St. Augustine Harpist

I was invited to play some harp music as part of Night of the Arts at Hartley Elementary School this week! Quite an event to be a part of – on site were several musicians, bands, a dance troupe, food trucks – and of course the whole school building completely decked out with students’ art work and sculpture.

With what I played I wanted to keep it light and fun with a little something for everybody…some Disney songs, radio pop, a few classics and I threw in some Beatles and U2 to round it out 🙂

I got to spend a lovely Saturday morning playing in the beautiful lobby of the Daytona Beach Hilton Hotel, as the Daytona Symphony Guild put on their fundraising luncheon – a beautiful day with a fabulous view of the ocean! The theme of this event was Rhapsody in Blue, so of course I made sure to do a little George Gershwin 🙂

Lakeside Inn – Mt. Dora

The Tea Garden at Lakeside Inn in charming Mr. Dora was a breathtaking setting for this wedding ceremony! The rain held off at just the right time for vows – gorgeous flowers and the lake through the garden hedge made everything just right 🙂

Such a pleasure to be invited back again this year to play some harp music for Valentine’s Day dinner! The residents and staff at Oakmonte Village Assisted Living are so friendly, and they really do it up fancy for Valentine’s Day – decorations, a special menu, and live music ♥

I had a good time playing some music that everyone could hum along to – classic favorites of all eras….My Funny Valentine, Danny Boy, Til There Was You & Clair de Lune.

Always fun to play for such a great audience!
