Ellen Tepper April 16, 2004

Ellen spent most of her childhood growing up in Vienna, Austria, where she began studying classical harp at 8 years of age. She graduated from the Philadelphia College of the Performing Arts with a degree in harp performance (makes sense!). She plays a variety of harps,from the small medieval to the bigger Celtic to the full size one.

Ellen teaches harp, and is on the faculty of The Piano School in Newton, Pa. She has also published several books on subjects including country dances, Bach,and Auld Lang Syne. She has performed with and for many musical groups in the Philadelphia area, such as the Philadelphia Renaissance Wind Band.

She plays a big variety of music, from medieval to contemporary, including Irish. You can hear much of this on one of her many C.D.s. She also has a great sense of humor, which she will probably need with us.

Come hear some wonderful music, and learn about the harp!
