Edna Phillips
Edna Phillips (January 7, 1907 - December 2, 2003), later Edna Phillips Rosenbaum (though she never changed her professional name and was still known as "Miss Phillips" ), was an American harpist long associated with the Philadelphia Orchestra and a teacher at the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music. Her most lasting contribution to the instrument was a body of works she commissioned as a soloist, including the concertos of Alberto Ginastera, Nicolai Berezowsky, Ernst Krenek, and Erno von Dohnanyi.
==Early life==
Edna Phillips was born on January 7, 1907, in Reading, Pennsylvania where she learned to play the piano and the violin. At the age of seventeen she began harp study with Florence Wightman. Miss Wightman was a student of Carlos Salzedo at the recently established Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. She was his teaching assistant as well. When Edna moved to Philadelphia two years later, she continued her private lessons with Miss Wightman, and audited lessons and harp classes at Curtis. When Miss Wightman was hired by Manhattan’s famous Roxy Theater to play in their orchestra, she took Edna along to be her second harpist. However, Edna grew so uncomfortable with the racy theatrical atmosphere and the routine music that she returned to Philadelphia after six weeks.
Edna auditioned for study at Curtis, playing the harp and the piano, and was accepted by Mr. Salzedo, partly on the strength of her piano playing, and she enrolled in the Fall of 1927. As a first-year student, she had her private lessons with Salzedo’s newly appointed Associate Instructor, Lucile Lawrence. It is worth noting that in that year, Salzedo had twelve students and Miss Lawrence had another six, including Alice Chalifoux. In following years the studio maintained ten to twelve students, in contrast to the total of four enrolled in more–recent years at Curtis and several other American conservatories.
In the Fall of 1928, Edna began her private lessons with Salzedo. Her summers were spent in Maine where his harp colony was located; first in Seal Harbor and then in Camden, where it remained until its closure in 2002. With Edna’s strong piano background and innate musicality, she made swift progress. In 1930 (just her fifth year of playing the harp), it was arranged by Salzedo and Lawrence for her to audition at their apartment for Leopold Stokowski, the already famous conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, for the Second Harp position. To her surprise–and Salzedo’s–she was appointed Principal Harp instead, at the age of twenty-two.
