Harpist Catrin Finch To Perform For Classic Performances Series

---

Boise State University�s Student Union Classic Performances Series presents Catrin Finch at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, in the Special Events Center. Tickets are $10 general and $5 for seniors, students 17 and under, and Boise State students, faculty, staff and alumni through Select-a-Seat. Call 426-1494 or visit www.idahotickets.com for more information. Finch is the royal harpist to HRH The Prince of Wales. The post was last filled by Queen Victoria in 1871 and revived by the prince after he heard Finch perform at his 50th birthday celebration at Buckingham Palace. She began her study of the harp at age 6 in her native Wales and at age 11 was principal harpist of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. Finch won the 2000 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, as well as the Princeton University Concerts Prize and the Orchestra New England Soloist Prize. She was also awarded First Prize at the 1999 Lily Laskine International Harp Competition in France and the Marisa Robles Harp Prize at the 1999 Royal Overseas League Music Competition in London. Boise State is fortunate to present Finch, who only performs a limited number of overseas concerts. -30- Contact Rob Meyer Student Union and Activities 208 426-1224 Media Contact Kathleen Craven communications and marketing 208 426-3275
