Born in 1901, May Hogan Cambern joined the L.A. Philharmonic at the age of 18 as second harpist. She was the only female member of the orchestra. A student of principal harpist Alfred Kastner, Mary continued to perform with the L.A. Phil until 1935, when she left to pursue a career as a film studio musician. "Top Hat," "Swing Time," and "Shall We Dance?" are among the films she worked on. She also recorded with Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Jo Stafford and Buddy Clark. After retiring from performing in the early sixties, she devoted her time to arranging music for the harp. Mary Hogan Cambern provided inspiration and encouragement to the next generation of Hollywood harpists, such as Catherine Gotthoffer, Dorothy Remsen and Ann Mason Stockton.
