I know it's cliché, but when I was a young harpist, I wanted to be just like my teacher, the same way children want to be just like their parents. Specifically, that meant to me that I was going to play in a big orchestra someday. It was years later when I discovered that not only were there other paths harpists could pursue, but that some of those paths actually suited me better. I've certainly done my share of orchestral playing, and I enjoy it, but I have always found more scope and more musical opportunity in chamber music and solo performances.  When I was still in high school, I began to freelance, to play a variety of music in various settings to earn my living. Don't get the wrong impression; I didn't have to earn my living in high school. My freelance playing at that age set me up very well to earn a good living freelancing in college and beyond. I reveled in the variety, in the unusual experiences I had, in the interesting places my playing took me. I still do some of that kind of playing, albeit less than I used to, and I still enjoy it. On today's call, I am speaking with harpist Dr. Kristina Finch. Some of you may know her as one of our Harp Mastery® Certified Coaches. She has an extremely busy freelance career which has taken her all over the world. And now, she has a new harp path, in addition to playing and teaching; she and her husband are the new owners of the Harp Centers in Atlanta, Virginia and New Jersey. I asked Kristina to join me on the podcast, because I wanted you to hear her story about change, about refocusing her harp career and the insights that she has gained in the process. Our conversation was fun – it's always fun talking with Kristina – but I think it will give you some insight as well, and perhaps some takeaways about realizing your passion and balancing your own harp life.  Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Register now for the Atlanta Harp Center Festival Visit the Atlanta Harp Center Visit the Virginia Harp Center Harpmastery.com Get involved in the show!

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Harp takes center stageKathy Kienzle is a retired principal harp of the Minnesota Orchestra. She's looking forward to the upcoming Bakken Ensemble performance where the harp gets to shine. This season Bakken Ensemble celebrates 30 years. The performance is 4 p.m. Sunday, March 1, at Westminster Hall in Minneapolis.Cheryl Losey Feder is the guest harpist, and Kienzle says this is a wonderful chance to hear her perform chamber music up-close, rather than with the full Minnesota Orchestra.Kathy is particularly looking forward to hearing André Caplet's “Conte Fantastique,” which she calls “extremely difficult and very, very fun to hear.”Kathy says: One of the reasons I really love this piece is people think of the heart as a very beautiful, soothing, pretty instrument. And this piece really looks at the dark side of the harp. It's based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe called “The Masque of the Red Death,” about a group of nobles who hole up in a castle and throw a masked ball while the populace dies of a plague, only to be killed off by a masked figure dressed as a plague victim.— Kathy KienzleA visionary's early years on stageBrianna Regan is a former stage manager and ongoing arts fan in Minneapolis. She has seen both Theatre Elision's current and previous productions of Grace McLean's musical “In the Green,” and she liked it even better this time. The musical is about the early years of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), a German Benedictine abbess, visionary, and composer whose writings spanned medical, natural history, philosophy, music and more. The 90-minute musical focuses on a young Hildegard's early years, when she entered the church after having visions. She is cloistered with an older nun, Jutta.Brianna describes the show: It's a small, five-person cast that really deals with how to be a woman in the world, how to deal with using your voice, speaking up, being present and how to heal from trauma. This time around, I really think it is even more relevant in our current political environment, as well as what we are dealing with here in Minnesota; it really hit me and gave me that kind of catharsis. The artists in the show are just absolutely incredible. I cannot say enough good things about their musical talents. It is a little bit of a weird musical, but I will say, from start to finish, the story pulls you in.— Brianna ReganChamber music in NisswaStephen Gurney of Bemidji is a retired English professor with a self-described “indefatigable love of classical music.” He and his wife plan to make the drive to Nisswa to see the Lakes Area Music Festival perform Mozart and Borodin.The concert is Sunday at the Lutheran Church of the Cross at 2 p.m. Saturday's performance at Pillsbury Castle in Minneapolis is sold out. The program contains three pieces of chamber music by Mozart, Dvorak and Borodin.Stephen offers some background on Borodin's “String Quartet No. 2 in D Major”:Stephen says: Borodin was one of the Russian five. These were five Russian composers who endeavored to express Russian folk music and even liturgical music in their in their works. Borodin was by trade a chemist, and actually contributed a great deal to the advance of organic chemistry, but the Second String Quartet is a pure love song from beginning to end. It was dedicated to his wife. It was written and given to her on one of their anniversaries.— Stephen Gurney

GEOWAV brings the harp into hip-hop spaces, flipping a classical instrument and carving out a sound that feels fully Bay Area.

Send a textWhat if the real power of a homestead isn't the lifestyle but the launchpad it creates for mission, discipleship, and community? We sit down with Brayden Waller to explore how a family can move from “getting the farm in order” to setting sail with a clear, others-first purpose—without losing the heart of home along the way.Brayden shares his family's unexpected path: leaving a high-hour job for presence, homeschooling for formation, and relocating into an Amish community for simplicity and togetherness. He explains how refusing control while welcoming outside testimonies built trust, conviction, and unity on the big decisions. From there, the story widens. The Wallers served Jewish farmers in Israel and later launched Love and Purity, a ministry focused on worship and whole-life holiness. Out of that came Harp and Farm, an immersive program where young adults learn music, work the soil, and form daily patterns of prayer, responsibility, and teamwork.We dig into practical rhythms that make faith tangible: using farm work as a living classroom, handling conflict as a path to growth, and building a crew mentality that prepares a family to actually leave the harbor. Brayden offers a powerful testimony of a student who traded screens for strings and soil, rediscovered purpose, and experienced a 180-degree life change. We also talk about raising kids by their gifts—celebrating the evangelist, the musician, and the cow-milker—and why meaningful roles beat passive entertainment every time.This conversation is for homesteaders, ministry leaders, and anyone who wants their daily work to carry kingdom weight. If you've felt stuck perfecting the ship but never setting sail, you'll find courage to aim beyond the fence line: farmers markets as ministry touchpoints, visiting the weak, building a local fellowship, and learning when to pause for repairs and when to catch the wind. To learn more about the Waller's ministry and apply for their internship visit https://www.loveandpurity.com/harpandfarminternshipSupport the show

This harp music is slowed down by half to create a more ambient sound. It arrives in deep, melodic waves and I imagine the golden sun rising over green hills. Glorious birdsong accompanies the piece.

Alan Hovhaness: Unveiling One of the Great Composers of the 20th Century "He has been composing music since he was four years old and at the age of eight found it necessary to defend his original style against the criticisms of his piano teacher. Since then after study in the New England Conservatory; the winning of two Guggenheim grants; and recognition through a National Institute of Arts and Letters award, the critics and the public are mostly on his side. Downes of the New York Times pronounced him "one of the most individual and exotically expressive American composers of the rising generation." In his own words he was led to quote "search for an idiom more worthy of the wonderful tradition I had discovered." For boldness and delicacy of imagination, for originality and individuality without eccentricity, for a great number of compositions each fresh and distinctive, for fusing old melody with modern technique and spirit, in short, for making music to lift the hearts of men as only music can, Bates College wishes to confer upon Alan Hovhaness, the honorary degree of Doctor of Music." Thus reads the declaration read by Charles F. Phillips, the president of Bates College on June 7, 1959. Today it is my honor to present William Holst, Alan Hovhaness' stepson, who served as co-author and curator of the book, Alan Hovhaness: Unveiling One of the Great Composers of the 20th Century. Symphony No. 63, "Loon Lake", Op. 411 was performed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, directed by Stewart Robertson, and recorded in 2007 at Henry Wood Hall, in Glasgow, Scotland.

Episode 267 is a masterclass in discipline, faith, leadership, and next-level surveying as the Geoholics crew sits down with Dillon Harp—a surveyor whose journey started at just 16 years old and has led him to become a nationally respected leader in the profession. Born on Carswell Air Force Base and raised with a strong sense of structure and service, Dillon shares how early exposure to hard work, responsibility, and mentorship shaped his approach to both surveying and leadership. From cutting his teeth in his dad's survey company to earning his RPLS at the age of 23, Dillon's story is one of focus, humility, and relentless growth. The conversation dives deep into his dual academic and hands-on education, the value of learning the profession from the ground up, and how those early field lessons still guide how he leads teams today as Director of Survey Operations for Energy & Power. Dillon also breaks down advanced topics like gradient boundary surveys, LSLS projects, and CFedS certification, offering real-world advice for young surveyors who want to push beyond the basics and specialize. Beyond the technical side, this episode hits hard on purpose and service. Dillon opens up about his faith, his commitment to being a servant leader, and his passion for giving back through TSPS involvement and student outreach. Recognition like being named TSPS Young Surveyor of the Year is discussed not as an endpoint—but as a responsibility to lift others up and leave the profession better than he found it. Dillon caps it all off by sharing the one piece of advice he'd give his 16-year-old self standing on that first survey crew—wisdom earned through years of experience, mistakes, and growth. Another episode that reminds us surveying isn't just a job—it's a calling, a craft, and a community. Music by Alan Jackson!!

A system is comfort. When we have and follow a system, whether it's for completing tasks, or crafting, or making a grocery list, our mind can be at ease. Why? Because we know we have the steps to complete our task, and all we have to do is to follow the steps and the task will be done. When it comes to harp playing, people frequently make one of two mistakes. One is thinking that harp playing is inherently creative, and therefore a system is not only unnecessary, but it will rob your music of its soul. The other is trying to systematize everything about your playing in an attempt to get consistent results or make consistent progress.  If you heard last week's podcast, you know that the word "progress" is one of the words I'm trying to steer clear of this year, but it is one I am going to find hard to avoid. What's interesting, though, is that systematization is one of the "progress" traps. Progress, meaning in this case growth either overall growth or integration of a single piece of music, defeats every attempt we make to predict it. But that doesn't mean that systems are useless for us; in fact, it points out how much we need systems. We just need the right ones. So today I'm going to give you a systems roadmap, three systems that can predict your growth. I know these systems are powerful, and I hope that today's show will convince you to look at how you do what you do with your harp playing, and give you some quick and easy ways you can make an upgrade.

In November 1966, a winged creature with glowing red eyes began terrorizing the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia — and thirteen months later, just ten days before Christmas, the Silver Bridge collapsed during rush hour, killing 46 people returning home from holiday shopping. Was the Mothman a harbinger of doom... or something far more sinister? | WEEK OF DECEMBER 21, 2025 #WDRadio==========HOUR ONE: Most all of us think of Christmas as a time of love, warmth, joy, and charity… but for some, Christmas isn't merry at all… it's murderous.

But first… we visit Point Pleasant, West Virginia during the Holidays of 1967… but we don't see a sleigh and reindeer in the sky… we see a nightmare.==========HOUR TWO: Christmas is supposed to be the merry season with joy and light in the darkness.
