This concert was under the baton of renowned Pittsburgh conductor, Mr. Walter Morales. Harp students of Mrs. Gretchen Van Hoesen, Mrs. Lucy Scandrett, and Mrs. Melanie Sandrock along with performance students from Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne University and the Three Rivers Young Peoples Orchestra made up the musicans on the stage, thirty in all.
The concert was preceded with rehearsals at the Alumni Concert Hall on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University. The concert area at PPG Place was standing room only as the harps in concert played many Christmas favorites. What an amazing experience for our Ringgold harp students!
