Highway 89

Beautiful and eclectically talented, Rachel Curtis recently returned to the United States after graduating in Harp Performance from the Royal Academy of Music in London, England. While she was there, Rachel participated in some memorable performances including opening a show at Royal Albert Hall for Sir Elton John and performing for Prince Charles on his 60th birthday. Here in the Utah Valley, some know her as a harp teacher through her Curtis Music Studio, but others know her as a rock keyboard instructor for the Modern School of Music! She only played harp for us tonight, but she showcased a wide range of musical genres from classical to jazz to show tunes. Enjoy this beautiful collection of harp music, including some improvised by Rachel on the spot!  Host: Bruce Seely  Repertoire: The Moldau – Bedrich Smetana Arr. Hans Trnecek; Rumba – Carlos Salzedo; Take 5 for Solo Harp – Paul Desmond; Une Chatelaine en sa Tour – Gabriel Faure; My Funny Valentine ¬– Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart; Ballade Fantastique
