Hangin' with the Harp

Hangin' with the Harp - Every Third Tuesday, 4PM EST

Next Hangin' with the Harp - 11/19/24

Via Zoom and YouTube

 

AHC would like to invite you to a harp “hang” every third Tuesday at 4PM EST. Each month you can join some of our favorite harpists for a half hour presentation followed by a 10 minute Q&A covering a variety of topics to keep you inspired and excited with the harp during these challenging times. Each live stream will also be proceeded by a brief live chat with AHC owner Mary Jane D'Arville and harpist Robbin Gordon-Cartier! Can’t make it? No problem! You can catch the replay on our Youtube channel and Facebook page.

 

 

Next Hangin' with the Harp - 11/19/24

Many of us have experienced the magic of the Nutcracker; some as spectators and some as the harpist in the accompanying orchestra. But can you imagine having played the ballet over 1,000 times? Mindy Cutcher can! As the principal harpist for the Philadelphia Ballet, Mindy has performed The Nutcracker for 30 years. Join her as she guides us through the role of the harp in this timeless holiday classic and shares her secret as to how she keeps her energy and sanity after all these years. Needless to say, she also has some interesting behind the scenes stories to share.

A PDF for this event is available HERE.

 

 

Principal Harpist for the Philadelphia Ballet, Ms. Cutcher is an in-demand professional soloist, teacher and recording artist in Philadelphia. Her most recent collaboration, Principally Harps! is a duo-harp ensemble formed with fellow harpist, Janet Witman. Symphonic engagements include the Baltimore and Delaware Symphonies, the St. Louis Symphony, the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra and Opera Philadelphia. Mindy has earned an international reputation with performances in Japan and entertaining world travelers on Cunard and Holland America cruise lines.
