Tour Thanks
I recently completed a two week concert tour in Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and Colorado. It was exhausting, but I had a great time. It was especially nice to meet all of you who came to my concerts and my workshops. I appreciated all of your enthusiasm, support, and kind words. It was fun to get to know you, and hear your stories about learning the harp with the help of my books. You make all the hard work worthwhile! Check out the fun photos below.
I also want to give special thanks to my hosts who made me feel so welcome, and who made this tour a success: Heid Music in Appleton, Wisconsin, Felice Pomeranz at the Berklee School of Music, the Boston Chapter of the American Harp Society, The Harp Connection in Salem, Massachusetts, and Kolacny Music in Denver, Colorado. You all did a fantastic job of organization, promotion, and hospitality. A big thank you to all of you!
Although I’ve given numerous concerts and workshops at harp conventions and harp society events through the years, this was my first real TOUR since 1983. It is hard for me to believe that it has been about 24 years since I toured the midwest and performed on the Prairie Home Companion radio show three years in a row. How time flies!
I had so much fun on this tour, and I met so many wonderful customers and fans, that I’m looking forward to doing more touring in the future. And this time I promise I won’t wait another 24 years!
So, here’s where you come in. If you’d like me to give concerts and workshops in your area, contact your local harp society chapter, or your local harp store (if you have one), or any other harp group and ask them to contact me about coming to your area. Who knows? Your town might be a stop on the next Sylvia Woods Tour!
In the meantime, please be sure to put the Sylvia Woods Harp Center on your vacation itinerary if you’re coming to Southern California. We’re just north of downtown Los Angeles, and less than an hour from Disneyland! It is quite impressive to walk into our showroom and see rows and rows of harps! I’m often at the store, and would love to meet you. And even if I’m not there, my wonderful employees will take great care of you with our exemplary customer service. So stop by and say “hi!”
