Emily Levin is the new Principal Harpist of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and the youngest principal harpist of a major American orchestra and Bronze Medal Winner of the 9th USA International Harp Competition.
A winner of the 2016 Astral Auditions, she has performed recitals throughout the United States including concerts for the American Harp Society, the Virginia Harp Center, and the USAIHC Concert Series. She was a top prizewinner in the International Harp Contest in Israel, harp fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center and the Aspen Music Festival, and regularly performs with the New York Philharmonic.
In addition to winning the Dallas appointment, she also was asked to serve as principal harpist by the Santa Fe Opera, according to an article about her in Harp Column.
“Emily Levin was a standout….[Levin] drew nuanced timbres and textures while making the mechanics of her instrument disappear.”
