Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival

Portrait of an Artist, Elizabeth Landis, Harp

The harp is associated with many things, all of them good: heaven, cupid, Ireland and in particular, Irish beer. And the harp is one of the most ancient instruments with many appearances in classical Greek history and mythology. But in modern Western culture, perhaps the readiest association with the harp is the wedding ceremony. Our featured Artist, Elizabeth Landis, played her first wedding at the age of twelve. I wonder if the happy couple is still together. I bet they are! Because Liz is an artist of the highest pedigree.

From early studies at the Interlochen Arts Academy to the University of Toronto, Temple University, Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music and the Aspen Music Festival, Liz has traveled extensively in the music world. But she also brings a love of traveling in the wider world, and is a respected travel and food blogger. Epicure, traveler and purveyor of 47 strings and seven pedals, Liz approaches music in much the same way as she looks at the world - her oyster!

All selections will be announced from the stage.
