| "When Vanessa Sheldon plays the harp, she bares her soul. Her passion fills each note as it rises from the white harp, drawing the audience into her world." -Peninsula News |
| 2011-12 concerts: The following are concerts open to the general public. In addition, I perform on harp and piano for private functions such as weddings, funerals, parties, and receptions. Please contact me at vrs@gold2ivory.com for more information Resume of previous performances "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 May 21, 2011, 7pm Solo recital featuring works of Liszt Woodbridge Music Club Woodbridge, VA More information/tickets May 22, 2011, 4pm Solo recital featuring works of Liszt Odeon Chamber Music Society Falls Church, VA More information/tickets October 25, 2011, 7:30pm Faculty Recital Norco College Theatre Norco, CA October 30, 2011, 4:30pm "A Franz Liszt Bicentennial Celebration" solo recital St. Andrews Episcopal Church Monthly Sunday Concert Series Fullerton, CA More information/tickets November 8, 2011, 10am-12pm Franz Liszt and the Harp Lecture Recital, Oliphant Theatre CSUSB Palm Desert Campus, CA December 2, 2011, 7-9pm An Evening of Harp Music Viceroy Hotel Palm Springs, CA December 8, 2011, 5-8pm Celtic Harp Music Walk of the Inns Viceroy Hotel Palm Springs, CA December 11, 2011, 8:30 and 10:15am Services at Palm Desert Community Presbyterian Church Palm Desert, CA December 18, 2011, 7pm Holiday Concert Debut of Desert Strings Harp Ensemble Dr. Vanessa Sheldon, director Palm Desert Community Presbyterian Church Palm Desert, CA December 23, 2011, 2-4pm Celtic Holiday Music Bookman's Grant Tucson, AZ December 24, 2011, 1-3pm Celtic Holiday Music Bookman's Speedway Tucson, AZ December 30, 2011, 6-8pm Celtic Harp Concert Bookman's Speedway Tucson, AZ January 25, 2012, 5pm Performance for Adjunct Faculty College of the Desert Palm Desert, CA March 27, 2012, 1:30pm Lecture-Recital for the LIFE Society UCR Extension Riverside, CA April 27, 2012, TBA California Teachers' Association Westin Mission Hills Rancho Mirage, CA Palm Desert music lessons, Palm Springs Harpist, private piano lessons, musician for hire, entertainment Coachella Valley, wedding entertainer, pianist, event entertainment Southern California music, Celtic harp, harp lessons, piano teacher, harp teacher, music instructor |
