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

In 2025 and 2026, ​I invite you to experience a special concert filled with stories. 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 tragic tale of elves and a chevalier in Henriette Renié’s Légende, the evocative landscapes of Vivaldi’s Winter and Smetana’s The Moldau... these and more promise a magical concert with the harp.
