When it comes to telling stories – or conjuring up atmosphere – no instrument has a more enchanting history than the harp. As well as being principal harpist of the legendary Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Anneleen Lenaerts is one of a new generation of harpists with a passion to communicate – so expect melodies, magic and fabulous playing in a recital inspired by the colourful world of 19th century opera.
