"Simply listening to the music that the harp creates is beautiful but when you can see the instrument played it shows some of the extreme precision needed to create such angelic music. You, Dr. Sheldon, make it look easy to play the harp so beautifully and it makes me respect the instrument so much to have heard it played so well." -Patrick A., concertgoer August 26, 2009, 7pm The Many Faces of the Harp Solo recital Torrance Public Library Torrance, CA September 28, 2009, 8pm Classical Underground Carson, CA More information December 3, 2009, 7:30pm Norco College Theatre Norco, CA December 8, 2009, 1:30-3:30pm Celtic Harps Playing Holiday Favorites Palm Desert, CA Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 7am Holiday Show and Breakfast: A Salute to Service Desert Falls Country Club Palm Desert, CA February 4, 2010 Elementary school Celtic Harp concerts 9:30am: Katherine Finchy, Palm Springs, CA 1:30pm: Rio Vista, Cathedral City, CA February 14, 2010, 2-3:30pm Valentine's Day Solo Recital Palm Springs Art Museum Palm Springs, CA February 16, 2010, 7pm Coachella Valley Symphony Sun City, Palm Desert, CA February 17, 2010, 5-7pm Walter Marks Center for the Arts Palm Desert, CA February 18, 2010 Elementary school Celtic Harp concerts 9:30am: Rancho Mirage, Rancho Mirage, CA 2:30pm: Della Lindley, Thousand Palms, CA March 18, 2010, 6-8pm Celtic Harp music for gallery and handbag reception Garant Gallery El Paseo, Palm Desert, CA March 23, 2010, 7pm A Cole Porter Celebration Coachella Valley Symphony Sun City, Palm Desert, CA More information/tickets March 27, 2010, 3-6pm The Glamour Kings of Hollywood Fashion Week event at Rangoni of Firenze El Paseo, Palm Desert, CA May 6, 2010, 6-8pm Celebrity Designer Randy McLaughlin's reception Hollywood Museum Hollywood, CA May 8, 2010, 2pm Solo recital- "Harp Around the World" Torrance, CA May 9, 2010, 9:30-4pm Mother's Day Brunch Music Desert Springs Marriott Palm Desert, CA May 28, 2010, 4:30pm Daniel Sauceda Senior Composition Recital California State University, Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA Here's to You!
