The Salvi Summer Festival<br />
by Carrol McLaughlin<br />
From 5- 18 July the third annual Salvi Summer<br />
Festival was held on the campus of the University of<br />
California, Santa Barbara. Two events took place<br />
during the two weeks: one, the Festival of Jazz and<br />
Pop Harp; the other, a Chamber Music Festival. Both<br />
festivals ran concurrently and many harpists participated<br />
in workshops of both classical and popular<br />
techniques.<br />
Artists participating in the Jazz/Pop Festival included<br />
Stella Castellucci, John Escosa, DeWayne<br />
Fulton, Carrol McLaughlin, Verlye Mills, Jack<br />
Nebergall, and Onita Sanders. All members of the<br />
panel performed in outstanding evening concerts,<br />
with participation by Danny Yale and the Regency<br />
Strings, Lance Phillips, baritone, Paul Hurst, harpsichord,<br />
and Carmen Balcom, bass. Excellent workshops<br />
in such areas as improvisation, rhythm, voice and harp,<br />
arranging for two harps, electronic enhancement, and<br />
studio work were given by panel members and special<br />
guests, as well as Pop consultations by individual<br />
artists.<br />
Performing artists participating in the Chamber<br />
Music Festival included Nancy Allen, Lynne Aspnes,<br />
Karen Lindquist, Carrol McLaughlin, Lou<br />
Anne Neill, James Pinkerton and Ann Stigall.<br />
Chamber music coaches, who also performed, included<br />
Anne Adams, Suzanne Balderston, Mitchell<br />
Lurie (clarinet), Eileen Malone, Dorothy Remsen,<br />
and Walter Trampler (viola). Twenty-one chamber<br />
works were discussed in depth with regard to fingerings<br />
and interpretation, and master classes and open<br />
coaching sessions were held for each piece. Special<br />
workshops were given concerning avant-garde notation<br />
and harp maintenance. All works were performed<br />
in evening concerts of the highest professional<br />
calibre. The guest artists were assisted by<br />
twelve outstanding string, wind and percussion<br />
players from the nation's top conservatories and the<br />
California Wind Quintet.<br />
It has been decided not to hold a Festival in 1981.<br />
The 1982 Salvi Festival will be concerned only<br />
with Pop and Jazz music for the harp. Again an<br />
outstanding panel of artists will be available, and the<br />
festival will include a competition to be held during<br />
the one-week course.<br />
The <strong>1980</strong> Salvi Festival was a highly successful<br />
learning experience for everyone involved. Artists of<br />
both the classical and popular areas are to be congratulated<br />
on their participation in this unique event.<br />
