New Harp Demo Recording ~ Springfield, IL

Every few years, I update and add new clips of my harp playing to my website.  Since I was going to be in Central Illinois for the week, I decided to record my latest demo at DRC Studios in Springfield. 


There were a few times I thought the harp and I might not make it down the winding stairs and into the low-ceilinged studio in one piece.  Although I do have several bruises, the harp arrived unscathed!  The first hour or so always is spent setting mics, tuning and re-tuning the harp, and adjusting sound levels. 

After everything was set, I played parts of about 15 different pieces.  Some of the new recordings include "Arioso", "Romanza", "Come Sail Away", "Try to Remember", "Prelude in C", "Time to Say Goodbye" and "Meditation from Thais".

Jeff had to make a special drive down just to help me retrieve the harp from the studio.  Such a good harp husband!  It got out much easier than it went down.  Having two experienced harp movers, we just tipped it on its column, held on tight, and carried it most of the way out.

Check the website in the next few weeks for the new clips, and contact us if you are looking for a harpist in Central Illinois!
