Israeli Chamber Project: Orpheus' Lyre

One of the oldest of instruments, the harp has been tied to myths and legends across many cultures and civilizations. In our concerts it takes on a unique chamber role that reveals its hidden qualities, and its chameleon-like character is fully on display in this program of original works and arrangements. Two lesser known, but equally wonderous Piano Trios bookend the evening.
