I’m at the Ohio Scottish Arts School this week, teaching with the amazing Corrina Hewat, the incredible Seumas Gagne, and the marvelous Sharon Knowles.  After two years apart we and the students are clearly delighted to be here, together enjoying one another and being with other harpers.  We are also grateful to be with the other arts – piping, fiddling, drumming, and dancing.  The week has been chock-a-block so I am catching up with you but not with an OSAS report – that might have to wait until next week.

In the interim, I wanted to share that I had an extraordinary opportunity!  I am honored to have been commissioned by the Learned Kindred of Currie to compose a piece to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. It is entitled Steadfast and you can hear it here. 

The Learned Kindred of Currie support the arts and Scottish culture. I encourage you to read about them on their website.  And when you participate in a Scottish Harp Society of America event, you might see their banner or meet a Currie – be sure to let them know how much we appreciate their Steadfast support!
