Leslie Stratton Norris and the Ladies of the Lake Harp Ensemble will be giving a free concert on Wednesday, June 2 at 7 p.m. at the Coeur d’Alene First Baptist Church, 424 Wallace Avenue, Coeur d’Alene.
They will be playing classical, Irish, popular, and folk music. The program lasts about one hour. The concert is free, but donations are accepted to help purchase the music for the group.
Because of its acoustic properties, First Baptist Church is a terrific venue for a harp concert.
Leslie isn’t the only talent in the family. Look at what her husband Mike builds!
Having attended a couple of Leslie’s concerts in this church, I agree that the acoustics are wonderful. I hope many will attend. The memorable concert was the one with the twenty harpists.

Three things to remember at harp concerts:
1. A harp is a nude piano.
2. A piano is a harp in a coffin.
3. A Celtic harpist spends half her time tuning her harp, and the other half playing it out of tune.
