Maria Rosa Calvo-Manzano.
On September 1, Maria Rosa's concert at "Cecilia
Meirelles Hall" we had a reception in her honor and
gave her two harp pieces by Brazilian composers:
Tacuchian (Ritos), and Radames Gnatalli (Concerto).
On October 27, the chapter was represented at a
ceremony held at the House of Representatives of the
State of Rio de Janeiro when the House honored Mrs.
Lea Bach with a diploma of Benemerit of Rio de Janeiro
State in recognition of her devotion to harp musical
culture.
On November 9, we lectured to young students of
musical composition, illustrated by performances, having
in mind "the presentation of the harp as a musical
instrument" related to their studies.
On November 20, we had the great pleasure of
welcoming AHS President, Ann M. Stockton, and her
husband, Stuart. A reception was given in her honor
where she met chapter board members, harp students,
and three harpists of symphony orchestras of Rio de
Janeiro; Maria Celia Machado, Elza Marins, and Wanda
Eicbbauer. The harpists and the students played in
duo, and solo. We gave Mrs. Stockton some Brazilian
harp compositions. Her visit was indeed an honor.
December 11 at the home of Acacia Brazil de Mello,
all members and friends of the chapter gathered to
review its accomplishments during the 1978 year, and to
discuss ideas for future activities. Mrs. Lea Bach once
more gave harp music to the students.

The winter program consisted of works in the popular

LOUISVILLE
President, Louise Petrilli, 2114 Village Drive,
Louisville, KY 40205.
Enthusiasm generated by the National Conference in
Sioux Falls plus the pleasure of participating in the first
Southern Regional Workshop hosted by Elaine Humphreys
and Barbara Belew in Lexington, Kentucky provided
the µnpetus to reactivate the Louisville Chapter.
A meeting was held in November at the home of Mrs.
Ralph Petrilli and officers were elected. Lisa Petrilli and
Therese Elder presented a program, and the meeting
