Jose Luis has been performing for over thirty years and is highly regarded as a gifted harpist by his peers. Jose Luis is the only harpist to play both the classic concert harp and the Latin lever harp; which requires him to pluck the strings with two different techniques; the first uses his fingertips and the second his nails.

Jose Luis first fell in love with the sound of the harp and began studying in his early teens with Maestro Jose Serrano in Puerto Rico. He later visited Los Angeles to take private lessons with the world-renowned harpist and composer Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

José Luis lleva más de treinta años tocando el arpa y es muy respetado por sus colegas como un arpista talentoso. José Luis es el único arpista que toca tanto el arpa de concierto clásica como el arpa de palanca latina; lo que requiere que toque las cuerdas con dos técnicas diferentes; la primera utiliza los dedos y la segunda las uñas. José Luis se enamoró por primera vez del sonido del arpa y comenzó a estudiar en su adolescencia con el Maestro José Serrano en Puerto Rico. Más tarde visitó Los Ángeles para tomar clases con el mundialmente reconocido arpista y compositor Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

Inwood Hill Park: Sunset Poetry Hike

Friday night’s Sunset Poetry Hike kicks off the 9th Annual Earth Day Festival, organized by the Friends of Inwood Hill Park and led by @donniewelchpoetry!

Friday, April 19th, 6:30pm
Isham & Seaman entrance


Registration required (free)

The hike will start at the Isham street entrance, wander around the shoreline of the cove, then head up the Blue Trail to Overlook Meadow for sunset before we finally hike out together at dusk. We’ll break along the way for poetry about natural spaces and our relationships to land. We’ll also offer time for anyone who wants to share work: their own creation or something that inspires them.

Pack water, snacks, and a poem, song, or rap for the Sunset Poetry Hike. An open mic hike for all ages and abilities.

Please wear sturdy closed toe shoes and bring a flashlight or headlamp for the hike out. All ages and ability levels are welcome for both the hike and readings.

The guided hike will be led and hosted by local poet Donnie Welch, a Super Steward trail maintainer with the Natural Areas Conservancy.
