Now a senior at `Iolani Schools, harpist/pianist Arabella Tan joins Classical Pacific for her 3rd Tuesday Student Takeover. Harpist with Hawai`i Youth Symphonyʻs YSI orchestra, Tan participated in a summer STEM program at MIT and is back home to work on WikiVisionʻs Fundraising Concert next month at `Iolaniʻs Seto Hall.
