Harp playing for Turkey

Today I got to play the harp at First Christian Church of Oakland!  The church is contributing some to my Turkey trip, and it was wonderful to play at their contemplative service today.  I provided some light instrumentation for the popular refrains "Sanctuary" and "Fill my heart, O God", and then provided some prayerful music in Turkish style before silent meditation.  My first public harp appearance---and I couldn't ask for a nicer community to get it started. 

Because it was a last minute arrangement, we didn't have time for pictures or videos---but hopefully soon!  In a week, I am playing at an event for my own spiritual community, the Table, and in a month or so, I'll be joining the worship service of Mills Grove Christian Church.  Can't wait!
