CONWAY — For the First Friday concert at 1 p.m. on Feb. 7, Mountain Top Music Center Executive Director George Wiese will present a concert of music for American harmonium.

This rare instrument is related to the Victorian-era parlor organs that were in every American living room at the turn of the last century, but is more elaborately designed for concert use.
