Emily Levin: The Glass Salon

Principal Harpist with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Bronze Medal Winner of the 9th USA International Harp Competition, Emily Levin’s playing has been praised for its “communicative, emotionally intense expression” (Jerusalem Post) and the Herald Times commended her “technical wizardry and artistic intuition.” Levin makes her Newport debut in a program that explores the domestic roots of the harp, the stereotype of its femininity, and the female harpists and composers who championed its development, including solo works by Hannah Lash, Germaine Tailleferre, Angelica Negron, and Henriette Renié’s Trio for harp, violin, and cello, featuring two Newport Classical Festival Artists.


This concert is dedicated to Linda and Jack Purdy in recognition of their generous support of Newport Classical.
