Kathryn Findelin sings her heart out (at Meredith College!)

The Lebanese community has made generous contributions to North Carolina from business to politics; from culinary endeavors to science and technology. Kathryn Findlen, daughter of Dorothy Findlen and granddaughter to Alma Farris (the youngest 96-year-old we know!) is making her contribution on the stage. A Mezzo Soprano who grew up in North Carolina, Kathryn is an illustrious performer and teacher with a long list of accomplishments in her field.

Kathryn will be performing with composer Ken Frazelle who wrote these songs about growing up in Eastern Carolina.

“Songs in the Rearview Mirror”

March 14 at 1:00 pm
