On May 16, 2010, Kirk Kupensky and I did a world premier of a new piece for harp and voice entitled “Salve Regina”.  It was a new setting of the traditional Latin text of the Salve Regina composed for us by Kathy Henkel, a composer from Los Angeles. The composer attended the premier, and afterward sent me a lovely note. I wanted to share Kathy’s note with you all.

“The premier – WOW!  You and Kirk couldn’t have had a more beautiful performance!  When you floated your last note, you transported us all to heaven.  Thank you SO much.”
