November 5, 2014 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 9 ‘Harp to Heart’ features stringers and singers by John Koster The “Harp to Heart” concert at the Ridgewood Library centered on Katy Wong, but introduced the near-capacity audience to a whole roster of talented string players, singers, woodwind performers, and another skilled harpist. Katy Wong and her sister Kari performed Claude Debussy’s ‘Reverie’ in a duet. Wong, the U.S. delegate to the 2014 World Harp Congress in Sydney, Austra- lia, played her duet with Violetta Norrie, a freshman at the Manhattan School of Music. She also introduced an original composition by Matthew Liu of Juilliard, who sat in the audience and spoke briefly on stage, explaining how Wong asked him to write an original piece, which came to be called “Romantic Tempers.” Wong also shared the stage with her younger sister Kari, an oboist and a fresh- man at Ridgewood High School, perform- ing “Reverie” by Claude Debussy, familiar as the opening and closing theme from the overnight WQXR classic radio program narrated by Nimet Habachy.
