Lineup Change...
The Harp Gathering is sad to report that Pamela Bruner will be unable to attend the 2011 Harp Gathering as a performer/instructor. Regrettably, she has a conflict in her schedule and it is impossible for her to be 2 places at once. As some of you may know, Pamela has embarked upon a new career as a success coach and is accomplishing great things, helping others to achieve their dreams. After long discussion, both Pamela and The Harp Gathering felt it was in the best interest for all that she be released from her obligation in 2011. All of us at The Harp Gathering wish Pamela the best in her new career and in helping those who truly need her guidance and support. To learn more about Pamela visit www.makeyoursuccesseasy.com.
 Now, as a door closes, a window opens, and The Harp Gathering is pleased to announce that the ever lovely and charming Lisa Lynne has agreed to step in and take Pamela's place for 2011. Lisa has released several internationally recognized recordings on the prestigious Windham Hill and New Earth Record labels, while simultaneously running her own label Lavender Sky Music. After more than a decade of full time touring, recording and performing Lisa has surpassed one million in sales of her recordings. She has made numerous television and national radio appearances, including NBC, CNN, and Fox News Atlanta. She has been featured in multiple newspaper and magazine articles including The Wall Street Journal who spotlighted not only Lisa's music, but also her grass roots business savvy and innovative approach to life. Lisa's music is heard throughout the award winning PBS special "Alone in the Wilderness," amongst many other soundtracks for commercial television and independent films. |
The Harp Gathering welcomes Lisa and to read more about her, as well as the rest of The Harp Gathering's 2011 lineup, be sure visit our Instructor/Performer pages.
Also, workshop titles have been posted so be sure to check out the workshop pages. Descriptions are to follow so stay tuned!
