The Arrowhead Library System is pleased to present Good Vibrations for Winter Wellness, a free program being offered at the Grand Marais Public Library on Tuesday, December 17, at 1p.m.

Music can lighten the holiday blues, bring warm feelings to a cold winter day, and calm a stressful time. Christina Cotruvo will play and discuss the American-Celtic harp, the hi-tech harp ukulele and a therapy harp. She will share the history of the songs she performs from a variety of genres and how they work toward wellness. This hour-long program is geared toward teens and adults.

Christina resides in Duluth and is a certified clinical musician. She uses these unique instruments and her voice in community music groups, memory care facilities, and one-on-one patient therapeutic music services, focusing on the wellness intent of good vibrations. Inspired by living on the shores of Lake Superior, she publishes No-C-Notes audio music description for those with visual impairment and leads the Duluth Ukulele Community Strum group.
