Almost a thousand harp strings will be plucked in unison on Friday, April 6, when an ensemble of 20 youth harpists presents "From Bach to Rock," a benefit concert for YouthCare in Seattle at Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center, 104 17th Ave. S.
Queen Anne student Katriona Guthrie-Honea will be in the middle of the action playing a wide range of music from classical to Celtic on her lever harp.
When harp teacher Leslie Mc-Michael gave her students the idea of presenting a spring ensemble concert for a charity of their choice, the young musicians voted for YouthCare, a community agency helping homeless and at-risk youth in greater Seattle. Because the harp families all chipped in to rent the 285-seat Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center, all ticket donations will go directly to YouthCare.
The benefit, fittingly called "a concert by youth, for youth," will also feature choreography by guest artists from Kaleidoscope Dance Company and a certain classic rock anthem that listeners sometimes request - never expecting to hear it on the harp!
Tickets are $10 adults, $5 youth/seniors. For more information, call 898-4972. For more information about YouthCare, contact Lisa Govro, 694-4500 or visit www.youthcare.org
