required.
Michelle
Andrus, Sabrina Cromwell, Benjamin Edwards, Jacqueline Fowers, Melody Howe,
Joan Morgan, Melissa Sego, Heather Stong and Becki Tew will perform on
concert pedal harps and lever harps. Additionally, Ricks alumna Jana Rae
Hemingway and Idaho Falls symphony harpist Leslie Mielke of Firth will

The
concert will feature folk melodies from France, Sweden, Norway and the
United States. Among the selected pieces are “Tis a Gift To Be Simple,” a
rag called “Back to Life,” Pachabel’s “Canon in D” and “American Sings,” a
medley of patriotic songs.

for “Reed at the Beach,” an original piece composed by Timothy Francis, a
student from Rexburg.
The
