Northern Indiana & Chicago Harpists

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 bothered me - we spend Christmas in South Dakota! 

It was a slim crowd, so I asked for requests from the audience.  I love playing stump the band!  The program started with a set of old English carols, followed by more traditional songs, and ended with uptempo popular tunes.  In between, it was audience favorites.  We covered everything from Boar's Heads to Rudolph!


If you missed the concert, I'll be back at the Peabody Library (Columbia City, IN) for the open house and dedication of the new auditorium.  I'll be providing background music from 2-4 pm on Sunday, January 16th.  There will also be crafts for the kids and refreshments served.  If you are looking for a musician for your wedding or event, this would be the perfect opportunity to stop by and hear the harp!

While I was playing the concert, Jeff was headed west to Lake Forest, Illinois.  This was for a combination adult birthday party and an infant's baptism celebration.  It was held at the home of the grandparents of the child, and Jeff played a variety of Christmas songs, Classical selections, and lullabies. 

Not everything we do is for weddings!  We love being a part of all of life's celebrations, from christenings to birthday parties, from engagement parties to retirements.  The music of the harp adds elegance to any event!  Please contact us if you are interested in having a harpist for your celebration.
