Join us for a free performance featuring harpist, composer, and educator Tasha Smith Godinez at the Del Mar Library. Transcending the boundaries of tradition with her music, Tasha reimagines the harp, moving beyond its Western classical roots to weave a rich tapestry of jazz, world music, and her original compositions.
