Our proudest moments, share them all x

[Louis Venus]

Ok so…. I started this post as I feel so very very proud of my daughter as Im sure any Mum of a young Harpist does!
She played her harp a few weeks ago at the Royal Albert Hall in London UK as part of an Orchestra, we had to deliver the harp to the stage door early in the Morning leaving her there to rehearse all day, then we returned for the evening performance.
It was the most wonderful day for her, to play in this beautiful and historic building, an honour and one she will never ever forget. My Husband and I were so very proud it bought tears to our eyes especially when she played a solo, our proudest moment ever. attached is a piccy of her harp she took in the day, unfortunately we were not allowed to take photos but a video should be arriving in the post anyday and I will post some stills of it.
Do let us know yours as a harpist or as a parent it would be lovely to hear your stories, I am sure there are many xxx

Emily – HOW WONDERFUL for your whole family! I’m SURE you were beaming!!

At the middle age of (cough, cough) 50 something 😉 I would say that my most shining moments as a harpist were about a year and a half ago when I was fortunate enough to have a Masters class with Alice Giles and then a month later, one with Yolanda Kondonassis. I was first up in each event and definately the oldest of the group to participate and IT WAS AMAZING!!! Who woulda thunk it?!

Again, congrats to your daughter!

Gosh Kay first up how nerve racking, I bet you were extremely proud! age is nothing when playing the harp!
any photos? would love to see some xxx

[kay-lister]

Emily,

Actually I DO have photos . . . All I have to do is figure out how to get them HERE. Incase you haven’t heard – I’m a self proclaimed “Techidiot”. I’ll see what I can do . . .

Look forward to seeing the pics Kay, just press add media to add your pics, as long as they are on your computer of course!, I love to see photo’s, a bit of a photo addict I guess, makes our posts a bit more interesting!

I’m glad Emily is proud of her daughter. I was an adult when I started playing, but my parents were certainly NOT proud….they thought it was a waste of time. It must be wonderful when parents are supportive!

Kay Hi, have you worked out the photos yet!

[kay-lister]

Hi,

No, not yet – I was thinking about that just the other day too. Taking a road trip to pick up my harp from the VA Harp Center this weekend, but maybe the next weekend I can corner my husband and get him to help me get them on. I’m SURE it’s a simple process . . . for MOST people (LOL).

Hi there Kay!
Thought Id check in to see your piccys of your masterclass, no piccy’s yet!
Also you said you were picking up a harp, is this a new one, if so what type and model have you got?

[Louis Venus]

ps forgot to ask, Im sure lots of you have some proud Harpy events and moments you can share?? hopefully you can post them soon, look forward to seeing pics and reading stories xxx

Hey there! Nooooo, not a new harp (hmmmm – would like one more though, hehe). I had to get the eyelet replaced on my 85E and it ended up being a trip to VA Harp Center (3 1/2 hrs each way). Didn’t mind though . . . Got a Grandbaby fix while I was there, as my son lives about 1/2 hr. away from VHC and bought lots of new music.

I know, I REALLY need to work on those pictures. I just get doing other things when I get home and forget all about it. I’ll put a “Sticky” on my purse – that always works. Keep checking.

Kay 😉

Wow, that’s great. I’ve just signed up here tonight, I’m new to harp, started learning last Summer. I live in the UK (Kent) and have been to the Royal Albert Hall twice, amazing venue, I can’t imagine how proud you must have felt of your daughter!!!!! 🙂

My proudest moment was when I played for a Catholic wedding this past weekend and did perfectly on the prayer which is a beautiful song and there was not a dry eye in the church
My sunshine friend was so proud of me that’s why I had to share this moment with you all

[kay-lister]

WAY TO GO MIA!!!
