Her recordings have been used in emergency rooms, intensive care units, and cancer therapy centers in Houston and in San Francisco. Prior to that, the Redding pianist and her singer-songwriter husband, Patrick, performed worship music at Vineyard Christian Fellowship in San Francisco for eight years, as well as at various venues throughout the city. Curtin will perform a concert at 3 p.m. Sunday at Old City Hall in Redding. She'll play solo piano tunes and also collaborate with her husband, a guitarist; and multi-instrumentalist Marc Cooper and violinist Jasmine Kinney. Tickets are $10. Musical selections will include work from her new CD "God With Us: A Solo Piano Christmas." Healing has been a common theme for the Curtins.
