Ms. Malone\u2019s successor, Kathleen Bride, also studied with Mr. Grandjany, and enjoyed a collegial working relationship with him until his death.\u00a0 Both Tournier and Grandjany rank as two of the most respected harpist-composers of the 20th century; their influence has been felt at Eastman right across the past century.\u00a0 The American Harp Society was still a relatively new association when it met in Rochester in 1969, having only recently been founded in 1963.\u00a0 The Eastman School\u2019s recognition of the AHS via hosting its national conference once again confirmed Eastman as a center for harp performance and pedagogy.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;14510,14511,14512,14513,14514,14515,14516,14517,14518,14519,14520,14521&#8243; img_size=&#8221;370&#215;650&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1719335453391{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1657900168623{margin-top: -10px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11px;\">Official program booklet for the 6th national conference of the American Harp Society.
