Harp concert will benefit local cause
Local musician Rebecca
Hilary Smith invites the
Sisters community to join her
for a concert on Sunday, June
9, at 7 p.m. at the Episcopal
Church of the Transfiguration.
This year9s concert is enti-
tled <Dancing Strings,= and
features Smith and her long-
time friend Laura Zaerr of
Corvallis on harp. They will
be joined by ArpeggiEight
Harp Ensemble and Celli
Belli Cello Ensemble from
Cascade School of Music, and
Sisters favorites Renaissance
Sister Lola Knox on recorder,
and vocalist Julie Cash.
The suggested donation
for the event is $15 and all
proceeds will benefit Sisters
Opportunities for Unified
Living (SOUL). SOUL is a
new non-profit dedicated to
developing and maintain-
ing affordable, long-term
independent living for adults
experiencing developmen-
tal disabilities in Sisters.
This includes advocating
for affordable housing, as
well as working to support
employment and community
involvement.
Zaerr began her harp
studies at a young age with
Sally Maxwell of Eugene,
received her B.A. in Music
Performance from the U of O,
and her masters from Eastman
School of Music in Rochester,
New York.
After cutting her teeth (and
a few albums) in the classi-
cal genre she branched out,
and hasn9t stopped branching
since. In the harp world she
is known for her category-
busting musical abilities;
she is equally at home in
the classical, Celtic, histori-
cal and jazz fields, and has
recorded numerous CDs that
demonstrate just that. She
lives in her hometown, where
she continues to be active
as a composer, teacher, and
performer.
Smith went to grade
school in Sisters, high school
in Redmond, and started
college at Central Oregon
Community College before
hopping the Cascades and
completing her music degree
at the University of Oregon,
where she and Laura first
met while studying with Mrs.
Maxwell.

Rebecca Smith will perform in concert in Sisters on June 9.
After wandering the world
a bit teaching music in pub-
lic and private settings, she
wound up in Hawaii for
a decade freelancing as a
teacher and performer. While
there she recorded an album
of Hawaiian music. She is on
the faculty of Cascade School
of Music in Bend as a harp
and piano instructor, and also
has a private studio in Sisters.
Smith lives in Sisters with her
husband.
