Dorothy Remsen

In October of 2010, the entire harp world felt a great loss with the passing of Dorothy Remsen, who had been one of the premier Hollywood studio harpists for decades, as well as a beloved teacher and one of the pillars of the American Harp Society.  The Los Angeles Chapter is dedicating our May 22, 2011 Spring Fling Concert to Dorothy's memory.
