An exquisite, unmissable concert.

LOUISE JOHNSON—one of Australia’s most prominent and international harpists—will take you on a discovery through the ages, journeying from an ancient Syrian Hymn and Medieval Music to the 21st Century.
From medieval to modern, from classical to jazz, from acoustic to electric, featuring an astonishing range of ten harps including a green Irish, blue electric and superb concert harp, Louise will let each instrument sing with its own distinctive voice of nuance and colour.
