@SeaModernOrch harpist Sophie Baird-Daniel after performing R. Murray Shafer's The Crown of Ariadne last night. It requires putting on and taking off ankle bells, hence the bare feet. My first time seeing it done live in 41 years (last was @MECsince1939 in Los Angeles in 1982).

"I'm constantly reminded of how much of our work truly supports local musicians. When the majority of the music world shut down in 2020, SMO found ways to keep performing. The group was one constant for me during a difficult time." – Bonnie Whiting, percussion
