http://www.mysticstrings.org/harp-news/ MSHC News Articles Copyright 2008 Tue, 04 Mar 2008 16:07:58 -0600 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.16 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Mystic Strings Harp Circle is disolving, at least for now. I will no longer reserve the library so we can meet monthly or every other month. Perhaps after a hiatus of sorts, there will be renewed interest so I do not want to say this is the end of Mystic Strings completely, but for the forseable future we have ceased to exist. http://www.mysticstrings.org/harp-news/archives/2008/March/a-message-from-the-president.php http://www.mysticstrings.org/harp-news/archives/2008/March/a-message-from-the-president.php Annoucements Tue, 04 Mar 2008 16:07:58 -0600 Celtic Fest Chicago is fast approaching and there will be some incredible harp talent on display, as well as 2 workshops on offer.
