"This concert includes a harp as well as four flutes and will honor the legendary harpist, Alice Chalifoux. Alice was a principal player with the Cleveland Orchestra for more than fifty years. She spent her summers teaching at the Salzedo Harp School in Camden, Maine and coached many of us for our Bay Chamber Concerts performances. One of her students, Julie Smith, studied with her here in Maine and will appear in this concert. Physically, Alice Chalifoux was a tiny woman; but to all of us (and to musicians in general), she was a musical giant who should be remembered during our 50th anniversary..."
