If you prefer to read, here's what Josh has to say about the program:
Hi,
My name is Josh Layne, and I’m going to tell you about the concert
series I’ll be performing this fall, Harping Through History.
Now, lest I get you too excited, when I say history, I’m only talking
about the history of “Classical” music, which of course is but a small
part of the history of music and the history of the harp. Still,
that’s all I have for you, so hopefully you’ll enjoy it.
I start the program with music from the Baroque period...
If you're in BC, Washington, Oregon, Northern California, or Western
Europe (apart from the UK) and are interested in having Josh perform a
concert in your area please email
