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 book traces Phillips' journey through the competitive realm of Philadelphia's virtuoso players.
