Three Harps Concert
Join us for the first performance in our Orange Coast Concerts 2010-2011 series. If you enjoy eclectic live music in an intimate setting, you will love Orange Coast Concerts.
On Saturday, October 16th we will feature three harpists who are masters of their craft - in the jazz, classical, and Latin American styles.
The 3 harpists are:
Verlene Schermer - Jazz
Ellie Choate - Classical
Julio Montero - Latin American
Verlene Schermer
Award-winning singer and harpist Verlene Schermer presents a diverse, upbeat style of music that leans toward contemporary jazz and blues. She accompanies her dynamic, versatile voice on folk harp, electric harp, double-strung harp, and cross-strung harp.
Ellie Choate began harp lessons while in the fifth grade, having already played the piano for three years. It wasn't until she completed a bachelor's degree in piano (CSU Fresno with pianist and mentor Dr. Bob Bennett) that she had the opportunity to study with Marjorie Call in Studio City. These lessons were transformative; Miss Call's influence opened the door to a vastly expanded understanding of the harp.
Ellie received her Master of Arts in Harp Performance from CSU Long Beach under Marjorie's guidance and began her career in Southern California. Her life as a professional harpist was a dream come true.
In the years hence, Ellie's musical versatility has afforded her the opportunity to touch virtually every area of music making. She is as likely to be found in the opera or symphony orchestra as on stage with show orchestras backing headline artists. She has worked "behind the scenes" on the musical scores of many motion pictures and other recordings, but has also appeared on camera for movies and television shows. Life with the harp is never dull!
Julio Montero, a master on Latin American harp, was born in the Canary Islands. Julio began his professional music career in 1992 in Madrid, Spain. He studied harp with the greatest masters of this instrument over several years and has successfully toured Europe, Japan, Mexico and the former Soviet Union, receiving numerous awards from both public and private institutions.
