The performers pictured above from left to right included: Elisabeth Adkins, Michael Bukhman, Edward Newman, Heather Test, Clay Garrett, and myself. I performed 3 short solo works: Fraîcheur by Carlos Salzedo, Unrest: I by Brandee Younger, and Letter d'amour by Megan Metheney. It was an honor to share the stage with such amazing musicians and to perform in this beautiful space!
In true Fort Worth fashion, I ran into some friends at both Yoga with a View classes!
Congratulations to all of the participants in the TCU Summer Harp Workshop! It was so much fun to work with these five fantastic young Harpists over the past three days in masterclasses, harp ensemble rehearsals, and movement classes. I'd like to thank TCU Music Education major and our intern Allison for all of her assistance at the workshop, and to Dr. Paul Cortese, director of the TCU Summer Music Institutes, for many of the photos! I hope to see many of these hard working harpists again next year! It was a busy spring for some very hard working harp students in our studio!
