To lead off with this week, a link that came up on both my facebook feed and one of the harp email lists I’m a part of – an article about 100 year old former MET harpist, Reinhardt Elster.
And then, speaking of harpists from an earlier era, here’s a video from 1963 of Marie-Claire Jamet performing the first 5 or so minutes of Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro: http://www.ina.fr/video/I07086729
And finally, a nice post by Seth Godin about public speaking that I think applies to performing music as well: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2015/01/fear-of-public-speaking.html
