Live-stream AND in-person concert, Dec. 20th!

Hi everyone,

I’m back home in Victoria, BC, Canada after a wonderful European tour, and I decided to do a spur of the moment Christmas concert to close out 2025!

I’ll be playing some Christmas carols, my new composition Starlight Glimpses, and my arrangement of Vivaldi’s Winter.

I wanted to do a live-stream concert to be able to share with all of you around the world, but I also wanted to have an in-person audience, because I think that’s the best of both worlds – there’s the energy and feedback of a bunch of humans in the same room experiencing the music together and at the same time the flexibility and easy access of an online concert for anyone who doesn’t live here in Victoria.

So I’ll be performing live at the Paul Phillips Hall at the Fernwood Community and Arts Association, 1923 Fernwood Rd, Victoria, BC, AND live-streaming it at the same time!

The short 35-40 minute concert is at 2pm Pacific time on Saturday, December 20th. This link should display what that is in your local timezone. If you can’t watch it live, you can still get a ticket and watch the replay at your leasure.

Tickets (both online and in person) are pay-what-you-want, with a portion of the proceeds going to support the Mustard Seed Food Bank here in Victoria.

See you there!

A new Harp Tuesday episode – an exercise for legato chords on the harp.

I didn’t manage to find time to post any Harp Tuesday episodes while I was on tour, so it was nice to be home again and able to film a new episode – in this case a fairly short one since I was still jet-lagged :)

Harp Tuesday turned fifteen at the end of November! Hard to believe, and I will do an event to celebrate it, stay tuned.

I would love to include stories of how Harp Tuesday has helped or inspired people over the years – if you would like to share any stories of the impact Harp Tuesday has had for you I would love to hear them!

That’s all for now – I need to go practice! See you on the 20th :)

Cheers,
Josh
