Thank you so much to anyone reading this that attended this past weekend's performances with the museum, it was an outstanding success, a deep ceremony, and I am very grateful to you and the universe.....
I would like to share the studio recording and video art I am developing of my project commission "City Athena"  before I share the live performance video of the Evergreen show, this will be soon, around early June. Here are some gorgeous pictures from the event,
taken by the stellar MAH photographer Libby Kastle! 

It was my honour to participate in an event for the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History!

I was commissioned to create an original piece of music with harp and vocals to be performed before an audience at the beautiful and historic Evergreen Cemetary in Santa Cruz. I created City Athena, to be released soon.

Both nights of the performances sold out which was wonderful. 

It was a dream gig for me, I worked very hard on this piece inspired by this place of history, and I was very excited to share it with my community in an amplified performance within my favorite peaceful graveyard, the one I like to visit anytime I need to feel a greater depth of connection to my own life and ancestors. The song is 27 minutes in length, it was my intention to honor with music the living present there and those who rest within the Evergreen Cemetary.

One of the best moments of 2021 so far.....a few Sundays ago I was busking in my favorite spot in Santa Cruz and I look up because I sense the presence of royalty and guess who is there.....the most talented woman, and family, in my opinion on this planet Earth....Gunhild Carling and the Carling Family!!!!!!!!!!!

Just an absolute honour to meet her. And my friend the wonderful musician Robert Perala, who I am standing next to, was also there. Making music opens up the doors in life to meet the coolest of cats,

I am a very lucky penny.

Public Harp Therapy on The Haight-Ashbury San Francisco  January 2021 

Happy 21st Birthday to Mya! Her sweetheart booked me as a surprise for her and their friends at her birthday party. What a lovely time that was this evening, playing dreamy instrumental as the Birthday Queen walked in followed by the songs City Athena and The Alchemist off my first album, and more ambient instrumental during pizza and cake. Awesome local college students appreciative of classically influenced musical experiments and supporting local musicians. Thank you Griffin and Mya and all your really cool friends :)

Good Afternoon my Beautiful Friends, I hope you are having a gorgeous spring Friday. I wanted to let you know that public harp therapy sessions will be less frequent this particular month of May, but still happening as much as I can be out there. For whatever the thoughts of this soul are worth, I want you to know that I support you in being courageous, in being in love with your dreams, with your heart and soul expressions, with the ones you love without guarded heart, and in sending light to any dark places of past or present trauma, in not taking any bull from anyone, in transcending constraints placed upon you by others or by our own selves, and if someone tells you nope to your dreams to let it fuel the snake magic in your guts to bring forth your vision in even higher form, in healing and growing, this lifelong journey, sending support for your sovereignty and sacred visions and freedom to say with words what you want to and need to, even if it means some people don't like you, and to be empowered to do exactly what you need to do in this life to be who you are in your limitless potential, despite our humanness, in all our human potential for flight and creation. I won't be playing harp out as much just for now as I transition fully onto living aboard my vessel Apollo. I named her for my loyalty and allegiance to the energetic archetype of the solar deity harp god presiding over oracular vision, far reaching sight, and protector of seafarers, my first home that I own for myself and my family. I am doing my best to be courageous, integrate my own shadows, face my own fears and recurring nightmares, to graft rose branches of freedom from fear and shame based religious ideology within my family tree, to hold the vision strong under the sun and moon through music and simple things. I love deeply and cry tears and bare my teeth like any animal learning her life's tough and rich lessons, and I hope that if anything to this world the harp music can be an expression of what I hope is my own highest potential. Now I bring the ocean deeper into my heart as a sea cradle haven for new art and music and sustainability and a safe home space to grow. I finally feel at home. I have worked so hard for all of this. Thank you for listening to me, thank you Captain Doug Wagner for apprenticing me and believing in me, thank you to the beautiful man I adore and my soul family for believing in me. I'll see you all very soon with the street harp, I love playing my harp for you, with all my heart.

With Love, Sabine Rose
