Last week, Assistant Professor of Harp Yolanda Kondonassis was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Classical Instrumental Solo category for her world premiere recording of Jennifer Higdon’s “Harp Concerto.” Kondonassis — no stranger to accolades — is considered one of the best solo harpists in the world. This is her second Grammy nomination, and she was also awarded the 2011 Cleveland Arts Prize. In addition to her work in music, Kondonassis is also a driven climate activist. She has donated her royalties from several projects to environmental nonprofit organizations, and she is the founder and director of Earth at Heart, an organization that encourages climate activism through an artistic lens. She also authored an environmentalist children’s book, Our House is Round: A Kid’s Book About Why Protecting Our Earth Matters. Kondonassis’ music career started when she picked her instrument as a child. “I started playing the harp at the age of nine, and it was actually my mom’s idea,” Kondonassis wrote in an email to the Review. “I think she thought the angelic qualities of the instrument would rub off on me! I’ve often said that instead of me becoming more angelic with the harp, I’m afraid that my forty-five years of promoting this instrument have probably made the harp a little less angelic as a result of me.” Despite Kondonassis’ humility, her many talents have made a mark on music history and the environment alike.

Musician Raveena performed at the Grog Shop last Friday for a crowd full of Oberlin students. Obies turned out for the show in full force, car-pooling to the venue in Cleveland Heights. “She’s got this fairy-like aura to her, but is also so grounded as a person,” College third-year Bhairavi Mehra, who attended Raveena’s concert, wrote in an email to the Review. “I also love how supportive she is of her fans and people who enjoy her music in general. I also want to support her as a South Asian artist, since we have really little representation or presence in the music industry.” Raveena’s music is a mix of contemporary R&B, jazz, and soul. She is also influenced by Bollywood and South Asian traditions. The cultural mix of her sound is representative of her background as an Indian American, and she hopes to empower other women of color and promote healing.
