Emilie Lom on harp
Talented RCM students continue to present Sunday afternoon performances in the AGO’s Walker Court. The AGO has partnered with the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) to host these concerts, which will continue through spring 2010.
This Sunday’s concert, November 8, features Emilie Lom on harp, and Casey Granofsky on flute.
Emilie Lom began harp lessons at age 13 in her hometown of Barrie, Ontario. She has recently competed in the final round of the American Harp Society National Competition. In addition, she has been invited to participate in the Banff Summer Arts Festival 2009, and was selected member of the National Youth Orchestra of Canada the previous summer. She is currently in her fourth year of the undergraduate program at the Glenn Gould School of the RCM where she studies with world-renowned harpist Judy Loman.
Casey Granofsky started playing the flute at age nine, studying in her hometown of Ottawa, where she played with the Ottawa Youth Orchestra. She competed in many competitions in her teens, winning dozens of first place prizes in the Kiwanis Music Festival and a first place prize in the 2006 Ottawa Youth Orchestra Concerto Competition. She has just completed her third year at the Glenn Gould School of the RCM, studying with Kathleen Rudolph, playing flute, piccolo, and alto flute in numerous ensembles.
