It was an honor to play with the Waco Symphony as substitute harpist for their production of the Nutcracker with Ballet Frontier this year! Here is a view from the the pit in Waco Hall, as I performed the cadenza during the opening of the Waltz of the Flowers. Happy Holidays! 🎄🐭🎶

I was honored to be a guest musician for Advent Lutheran Church's "Cantata" Sunday, which included the Festival Choir's performance of Oratorio de Noel by Camille Saint-Saëns, as well as musical offerings by the Advent Children & Youth Choir. 
Conducted by Hunter Birkhead, accompanied by the Juan Seguin High School Orchestra (directed by Melina Shaffer) with other guest musicians Beverly Howard, Maggie Armand, Maddie Breedlove, Robert Leland, Dorian McCall, and Emma Bruce Birkhead, it was a joy to participate in this cantata service. I look forward to more spiritual opportunities with the musicians at Advent Lutheran Church!

For the past several years my brother Andrew and I have performed cello and harp duets for services on the 4th Sunday of Advent at St. Andrews United Methodist Church in Arlington, TX. It has become a family tradition, that we didn't want to miss even though we are unable to be together in person this year. Andrew and I decided to create a video of O Holy Night in our living rooms for St. Andrew's online services.
