"Simply listening to the music that the harp creates is beautiful but when you can see the instrument played it shows some of the extreme precision needed to create such angelic music. You, Dr. Sheldon, make it look easy to play the harp so beautifully and it makes me respect the instrument so much to have heard it played so well." -Patrick A., concertgoer August 26, 2009, 7pm The Many Faces of the Harp Solo recital Torrance Public Library Torrance, CA To be televised on Spotlight Torrance September 28, 2009, 8pm Classical Underground Carson, CA More information December 3, 2009, 7:30pm Mustang Chorale Fall Concert Norco College Theatre Norco, CA December 8, 2009, 1:30-3:30pm Celtic Harps Playing Holiday Favorites A lecture-recital presented by the Osher Institute of CSUSB Oliphant Auditorium Palm Desert, CA Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 7am Holiday Show and Breakfast: A Salute to Service Desert Falls Country Club Palm Desert, CA More information and tickets February 4, 2010 Elementary school Celtic Harp concerts 9:30am: Katherine Finchy, Palm Springs, CA 1:30pm: Rio Vista, Cathedral City, CA February 14, 2010, 2-3:30pm Valentine's Day Solo Recital Palm Springs Art Museum Palm Springs, CA Admission free as part of Free Second Sundays February 16, 2010, 7pm Concert-Bizet and Rimsky-Korsakov Coachella Valley Symphony Sun City, Palm Desert, CA More information/tickets February 17, 2010, 5-7pm Celtic harp music for art reception Walter Marks Center for the Arts College of the Desert Palm Desert, CA February 18, 2010 Elementary school Celtic Harp concerts 9:30am: Rancho Mirage, Rancho Mirage, CA 2:30pm: Della Lindley, Thousand Palms, CA March 23, 2010, 7pm A Cole Porter Celebration Coachella Valley Symphony Sun City, Palm Desert, CA More information/tickets May 8, 2010, 2pm Solo recital Torrance Public Library Torrance, CA June 29, 2010, 11:30am Here's to You!
