Concert program – touring Australia in Feb-April, 2026
The Harp Has a Story:
Sounds of Water, Winter, and Wonder
In 2026, I invite you to experience a special concert filled with stories…
My own arrangement of Vivaldi’s Winter, Henriette Renié’s dramatic masterpiece Légende, Hans Trneček’s stunning arrangement of The Moldau – these and more showcase how well music can tell a story.
