The Urban Youth Harp Ensemble of Atlanta was featured on the Kelly Clarkson Show on Feb. 19. During her “Rad Humans” segment, Clarkson recognized co-founder and executive director Roselyn Lewis, along with teaching artist Jennifer Betzer, for their achievements in making the harp accessible for young people of color and at-risk youth in the Atlanta Public Schools system. Clarkson was also brought to tears by a performance by Myron, who studies harp with Betzer through the ensemble’s programs. Watch the video below.
