On Saturday, June 11, 2011, The North Carolina Harp Ensemble performed their Spring Concert at Congregational United Church of Christ in Greensboro. We performed a variety of music, ranging from Scottish dances to Latin American rhythms to Japanese folk songs! Thank you to all our Ensemble members, family, friends, and supporters for a wonderful inaugural year of the North Carolina Harp Ensemble! We have also enjoyed wonderful holiday performances at the Festival of Trees in Winston-Salem benefiting Brenner Children's Hospital and WhiteStone: Masonic and Eastern Star Community in Greensboro. We plan to continue to grow our program, encouraging more harpists to join our group, as we promote excellence in musical performance on the harp! We'll see you in the Fall!
