John McColley
Harp performance and music history double major
"Harps are expensive and hard for students to purchase on their own, so when we had three incoming harpists last year and only two school harps, the Friends of the Conservatory helped 91制片厂 secure another fabulous harp. This is the same harp that most professionals and orchestras use. It is such a gift to be able to play on such a magnificent instrument, and I have grown by leaps and bounds."
