Performance: San Francisco Symphony Chamber Concert

Please join us at the Sunset Branch on Friday, June 7 for a chamber concert featuring San Francisco Symphony Principal Harpist Katherine Siochi! Katherine will perform classical pieces from a range of composers and teach us about this ancient instrument (the harp is believed to have existed as far back as 15,000 BC!). This event is open to all library patrons and is brought to you by the San Francisco Symphony’s Community Chamber Concert program.

Katherine Siochi joined the San Francisco Symphony as Principal Harp beginning in the 2023–24 season. She was previously principal harp of the Minnesota Orchestra, Kansas City Symphony, and Sarasota Orchestra, and has appeared as a guest with the Chicago Symphony and New York Philharmonic. She was the gold medalist of the 2016 USA International Harp Competition. As a soloist, Ms. Siochi has performed in China, Hong Kong, Israel, and at Lyon & Healy Hall in Chicago. She has served as a concert artist for the American Harp Society, presenting solo concerts and masterclasses across the United States. Recently she also served as artist-faculty at Aspen Music Festival and School, teaching and performing with the Aspen Festival Orchestra. Ms. Siochi earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Juilliard School as a student of Nancy Allen, and also studied piano as a secondary instrument. In 2021 she released her debut album, Nocturne, on Lyon & Healy Records.
