I need your Help !

I love performing harp music for patients in the hospital, hospice or nursing homes. It is difficult to perform often due to the weight of a full sized harp.

I need your Help !

Full sized harps are too big to carry into patient rooms. Therapeutic harpist use smaller lever harps.

Magic at the Kennedy Center !

Performing at the Kennedy Center Skylight Pavillion

I am always aspiring and hope to inspire others !

I was challenged to create an original arrangement to honor the induction of the 2023 NEA Jazz Masters. I am most proud of my creative interpretation  that I prepared as a tribute to one of the greatest American musicians, Mr.Charles Mingus. Mingus's compositions are complex, multilayered and  extended works that don't provide an easy framework for solo Instruments.


My tribute is a melodic nod to Celia, Better Get Hit in Your Soul and Duke Ellington's Sounds of Love, arranged for harp, which I was invited to create by my director Mr.Davey Yarborough of the Washington Jazz Arts Institute for the National Endowment of the Arts induction of the 2023  Kennedy Center Jazz Masters.
