Christine Van Arsdale was classically trained as a harpist at Queens College and the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and received her master’s from Winthrop University.  She has gone on to become a folk harp enthusiast and relentlessly embraces new and fascinating aspects of the harp world, such as in her travels to Spain to study the ancient, cross-strung Spanish harp, or her recent training in philosophical performance practices with jazz harpist Deborah Henson-Conant.
