Harpist, teacher, leader.
Anne Adams, performer, teacher, and leader within the American Harp Society, died Dec. 9, 2013, following a long illness.

Anne began piano lessons at age 4. Her great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother were all concert pianists. At the age of 9 she began harp lessons with Annie Louise David after seeing her harp at the Fairmount Hotel in San Francisco. She also started harmony, theory, and ear training and began attending concerts performed by the San Francisco Symphony. Her dream was to be their harpist, which she achieved.

In 1938, Marcel Grandjany came to Mills College in Oakland, Calif., for a masterclass and invited Anne to be in his first class at Juilliard. While there, she performed the debut performance of the Aria in Classic Style when Mr. Grandjany became ill. We call this the "favorite family piece." She performed the work with organ, with string orchestra, and most often with her mother on the piano. She also performed it for her mother's wedding to her second husband, with me, her daughter Patricia, playing second harp.
