The Harp Has a Story: Sounds of Water, Winter, and Wonder

In 2026, I invite you to experience a special program filled with music that tells a story… Through the magic of the harp, tales of water, winter, and myth unfold.

A time-traveling guitar in Deborah Henson-Conant’s Baroque Flamenco, a tale of elves and a brave knight in Henriette Renié’s Légende, the landscapes conjured up by Vivaldi’s Winter and Smetana’s The Moldau… not to mention two of my own original compositions and the yearning and beauty in Glinka’s The Lark.
