Concert Artist Elizabeth Yeoh-Wang
The Minnesota Chapter of the American Harp Society is sponsoring Concert Artist Elizabeth Yeoh-Wang to present a solo harp concert on Sunday, November 13, at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd at 1:30 pm, at 4801 France Ave S, Edina, Minnesota. This is a free concert, but a good-will offering will be collected for help in sponsoring the artist. Stay after the concert for an interview with the artist!
The American Harp Society National Competition is held every two years. The top division, the Young Professional Division, awards a Concert Artist as the top winner. This winner then tours and performs for AHS Chapters around the nation for the subsequent two years and serves as the AHS Concert Artist. The Concert Artist program provides resources to assist chapters in sponsoring the Concert Artist in performances, classes and/or workshops that benefit local harp communities.

She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Harvard University and the Master of Music degree in Harp Performance from the New England Conservatory of Music studying with Jessica Zhou.
