South Bend Harpist ~ St. Joseph County Library

As a part of One Book, One Michiana, the St. Joseph County Public Library held several events at the beginning of April tied into the book Rocket Boys.  On the afternoon of April 2nd, they held an edible books festival.  Several area bakeries, colleges, and grocery stores created cakes that were inspired by the book.  The public was invited to judge the entries, and the organizers invited me to play during the judging time and afterwards as moon pies and lemonade were served.

Since most of the events for which I play are private, this was a great opportunity for many more members of the community to get to hear the harp and see it up close.  Kids always have lots of questions - most want to know if I play with the symphony!  The teenagers are always surprised to hear me play Coldplay and Styx, but I thought "Come Sail Away" was especially appropriate given the theme of this event. 

Whether you are planning a wedding, party, or community event, we'd love to work with you and provide harp music to fit any occasion.  Visit our website, The Classic Harpist - South Bend Harp Music, for more details.
