Abstract

Gifted harpist Edna Phillips (1907-2003) joined the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1930, becoming not only that ensemble's first female member but also the first woman to hold a principal position in a major American orchestra. This candid, colourful account traces Phillips's journey through the competitive realm of Philadelphia's virtuoso players, where she survived and thrived thanks to her undeniable talent, determination, and humour.
