Salzedo and Beyond: Celebrating a Great Harpist and His Legacy
Salzedo and Beyond: Celebrating a Great Harpist and His Legacy is the theme for Pacific Harp Institute’s (PHI) concert on July 26, 2008 at 7pm, at Bastyr University Chapel in Kenmore, WA. The life and musical impact of Carlos Salzedo, one of history’s greatest and most influential harpists, has been the focus in all of PHI’s programming for 2008.
This FREE concert will take place on the last day of PHI’s annual 6-day solo and chamber music camp for advanced young harpists. The concert will feature music written either by Salzedo himself or by people directly influenced by Salzedo. It will include the west coast premiere of Salzedo’s Bolmimerie, a unique ensemble work for seven harps. Bolmimerie will be performed by leading Seattle-area harpists and PHI faculty members and promises to be an unforgettable production. In addition, students from camp, along with other young area musicians, will perform chamber works studied during the week.
We hope to see you there!
