Ravens = Super Bowl Champions!
I wanted to share some neat pictures.  I was hired by M & T Bank for two of their corporate events taking place at the Baltimore Museum of Art.  They sponsored the 'Matisse Dancers' exhibit at the museum which was gorgeous.  I played for hundreds of guests who attended the party and was able to enjoy the special surprise.....the Ravens' Super Bowl Lombardi Trophy!  Everyone attending the event was given an opportunity to take a picture with the trophy.  I not only snapped a picture, I kissed it too!  Enjoy

Harp and Organ Recital
February 18, 2012

I played a recital with an organist, Kate Scott, from St. Isaac Jogues Parish in Parkville.  It was a beautiful Saturday night event.  We played an Aria by Grandjany together and each performed some of our favorite pieces.  I was very honored to be a part of this event.  The harp and the organ surprisingly sounded beautiful together!  I'm thankful to all of my family and friends that attended the concert.

"A young woman, pretty, lively, with a harp as elegant as herself; and both placed near a window, cut down to the ground, and opening on a little lawn, surrounded in the rich foliage of summer, was enough to catch any man’s heart."
~ Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
