Israeli Chamber Project: Orpheus’ Lyre, at Merkin Hall (Site)
Thursday February 27, 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
$40 – $45One 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.
