Conventional wisdom dictates that you'd rather spend Tuesday morning watching TLC TV and sharing a big bowl of prune whip with your great Aunt Zelda than venturing out to hear harp music. But in this case, conventional wisdom would be wrong. The melodic sounds of the harp will be featured at the next Music @ 11 recital when Cynthia Zechmann presents selections from her repertoire of Broadway, classical, pop, easy listening and Christian music. Zechmann, who began her study of harp when she was 12, is a freelance harpist based in Olympia. She has performed with the Cleveland Institute of Music along with 50 other harpists from around the world. She has also performed for President Jimmy Carter, President George Bush, Sr., and at three governor inauguration ceremonies. Zechmann studied at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, and at the Salzedo Harp School in Camden, Maine, for two summers.
