If I remember right, the Malaysian Philarmonic Orchestra, in Kuala Lampur have two harpists… Sebastien Horrer and Tan Keng Hong, principal and co respectively… don’t know their level or anything, or if they do private tuition, which I assume they do.

One of my cat likes to go belly up in front of my harp while I play and the other likes to put her teeth on a vibrating string while sitting on my lap. Obviously not a lot of serious practice gets done with that one around….Lol!
Of course not! thats why I’m asking to all the Harp comunity for ideas in regard of date, time during the calender year! Thank you!
