Christina Harrison: News

Dear Friends,

Sorry for the silence of recent. Most of my concerts have been private and also in schools. I am going to be away for the month of April for the sole purpose of writing. On my return I will keep you posted regarding future concerts.

If you have not already done so please write something "nice" in my guest book.

Thanks for your continued support.

Best Wishes
Christina

More great news. I just received a 2007 PARENTS' CHOICE APPROVED AWARD for my latest cd released this year: Mrs. Paterson's Daughter - a self-composed memoir of a childhood in Scotland. This is my second award in 2007. As previously mentioned I also received a 2007 INDIVIDUAL MUSIC COMPOSITION AWARD from the Maryland State Arts Council for variouis tracks included on this CD. For the latter I get to attend the award ceremony on June 19th. at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, Baltimore, MD where all award recipients will be honored.

I just returned from a very adventurous trip in Glasgow, Scotland where I was researching and photographing for the book that I am writing to accompany the cd. I felt I was in a time machine. It is the most amazing city with stunning old architecture and as they say the friendliest people in the world. Now it is time to prepare for concerts coming up shortly. Check out my schedule and please stay in touch.

All the best
Christina

NEWS - NEW CD RELEASE

Dear Friends,

Welcome to my updated web site and finally a news-letter from me. Sorry for the long silences and interruptions on the web site and the calendar.

2006 was not a typical singing year for me as I spent much of it in Scotland recording my new cd: Mrs. Paterson’s Daughter – a childhood memoir of self-composed songs for children and grown-ups. Many of the lyrics were written years ago but it was time to resurrect them and with the help of Ian Bruce, rewrite. The recording has already brought about much joy. Those who have heard it say it is my best to date. Some of the tracks were submitted to the Maryland State Arts Council for Individual Musical Composition and consequently I just became an Individual Artist Award Recipient for 2007. This was a great honor to receive and the funds will be used for a return trip to Scotland in order to complete the writing of a song and story book that will accompany the cd.

2007 will be yet another year for creativity before I put on my agent’s hat again and line up some singing tours. Meanwhile there are a few up and coming local concerts; so please come and join me at these events as singing to a live audience is still my first love!

You are now able to sign into my guest book on the web site, so I look forward to hearing from all of you.

I am still teaching from home so if you are interested in singing and/or guitar lessons – both together is also an option - don’t hesitate to call or email.

Meanwhile, keep your eye on my schedule and newsetter as they will be current and flowing from now on!

Thanks
Christina
