This season the NC Harp Ensemble conducted by Jacquelyn Bartlett (UNCSA Artist Faculty) presented their Holiday Concert on November 18, 2023 at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem and Spring Concert on April 13, 2024 at First Presbyterian Church in Burlington! We also welcomed internationally acclaimed harpists Parker Ramsey (October 2023) and Noel Wan (February 2024) whom both performed solo harp recitals at First Presbyterian Church in Burlington and presented a masterclass at UNCSA in Winston-Salem! We are so appreciative of being able to welcome and learn from these incredibly talented artists and educators!
