DELIGHTFUL MELODIES

doesn’t mean you can't catch the second leg! Madeline Jane Banta will serenade the audience with the

tinkling melodies of her harp. One of the very few pedal harp players in the Philippines, the Master of

Music degree holder is also part of the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra. Be sure to catch Madeline’s
