The Library's Autumn Concert Series takes place on Fridays from September 4 to October 23. Each concert will begin at 1 p.m. in the Winn Room. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the performance. On September 18, we will have Amy Kanner on the harp. The music of the harp is simply ethereal and enchanting, transporting us to another world. Playing the harp is Amy Kanner's passion! She is grateful to her parents who surrounded her with music and enrolled her in her first piano lessons at seven. Classically trained in both piano and violin, she continued these studies at Oberlin College in Ohio. But when she first heard the Celtic harp many years later, it was love at first sight and sound. She loves sharing the magic of the harp with audiences throughout San Diego — from school programs, weddings, and holiday celebrations, to service organizations and arts festivals. Amy is also a graduate of the International Harp Therapy Program (IHTP), created and taught by master harpist Christina Tourin — the IHTP is a year-long study of how to use the deep resonance of the harp to powerfully impact our well-being on the levels of body, mind, and spirit.
