Is anyone going to the 150th bash for L&H in Chicago June 4-7? Like others I am sure, I would so love to be there, and was hoping to hear about it! Eager ears!

I just got home from there, and it was WONDERFUL.

I was there with Kerstin Allvin. We were heading up to a concert going to get on the elevator when you got off and you and Kerstin began talking. I could tell you had a lot to talk about,, and I wanted to get up to the concert. The elevator was leaving so I jumped on……so I didn’t get to say hi. But oh my……that conference was just amazing. There was so much talent and such great music. The concert last night was breathtaking…..and the cake….wahoo!!!! (It was a cake about 3 feet high of a Lyon and Healy 23 gold harp surrounded by scores of famous harp works made of fondant……for those who weren’t there.)

This morning we had breakfast with Naoko Yoshino, and what a charming lady she is. She was here in the Detroit area last year when Kerstin had her come and do masterclasses with us and at the University of Michigan and play a wonderful concert with the Detroit Chamber Music Society. So, it was good to be able to talk with her again. She is an AMAZING harpist and a very gracious, sweet lady.
