Harpist in the Wild, Season 2: A Baroque Feast

Season 2 - A Baroque Feast

Season 2, A Baroque Feast, is a favourite of mine. Six episodes featuring some wonderful music by Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi, and before each episode I tell a story about the music…

(Note that if you love the music I’ve published my arrangements of all six pieces and you can find them in my various publications on my online store.)
