Dear friends,
As I am writing, we are in the midst of a several day International Harp Contest taking place in Tel Aviv, Israel. This contest is one of the most prestigious in the world, if not the most prestigious. Contestants come from all over the world This year we have two Dutch entries (Remy van Kesteren and Marianne Smit) and one Canadian (Valérie Milot). My friend -and previous winner of the Tel Aviv contest- Gwyneth Wentink will also be playing as one of the gala guests. Enough exciting things to make me wish I could be in Israel right now!That said, I am eagerly looking for a harp for myself to play in Canada. It was a little too expensive to bring my own beautiful orchestra harp all the way from the Netherlands, so I am looking for a generous person here in Canada that would be able to lend me one for this year. I have tried all sorts of ways to find someone that might have a harp they are not using at the moment, but no luck so far. And if you don’t have one, please join me in praying to God to ask Him to provide for one!!
If you want to enjoy the harp and the atmosphere at the Tel Aviv contest for yourself, take a look at the beautiful clip. Gwyneth is also interviewed for a few seconds
Enjoy!
