Music at Evergreen: Noël Wan, Harp

Description

Harpist Noël Wan will give a concert as part of the Music at Evergreen concert series. The concert will be followed by a meet-and-greet reception with the artist.

Lauded as "a huge talent [with] hidden power and amazing maturity," Taiwanese American harpist Noël Wan made her international debut with the Utrecht Symphony Orchestra in 2010. An acclaimed soloist, she has performed across North America, Europe, and Asia and has been featured at Carnegie Hall, het Muziekgebouw, Eslite Performance Hall, and the Yellow Barn Summer Festival. Her 2023-2024 engagements include a debut Atlantic concert tour and concerts presented by the Virginia Harp Center Festival, Taiwan Harp Festival, Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal's Harpenning Festival, Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber Music Society, and St. John's Elora Recital Series.

An alumna of the University of Illinois and the Yale School of Music, Wan is equally comfortable in her roles as a performer, academic, and educator. She has presented her scholarly work at the American Harp Society Summer Institute and the American String Teachers Association National Conference and has contributed to Harp Column, The Collective, The American Harp Journal, and VAN Magazine. Also highly sought as a teacher, Wan has been on faculty at the University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary's College, and Western University; she currently serves as assistant professor of harp and entrepreneurship at Florida State University.

Music at Evergreen is Evergreen Museum & Library's annual concert series, which features global classical music talent in the unique and intimate setting of Evergreen's historic Bakst Theatre.
