Elizabeth Hainen harp
David DePeters vibraphone (7, 13, 16)

Philadelphia Orchestra Solo Harpist Elizabeth Hainen paints a varied and innovative portrait of private moments
 in this ode to the pleasures of home. The programme features favourite pieces from those enjoyable hours spent playing her instrument alone or in partnership with her percussionist husband – a collection of cherished gems alongside 
new creations including a world-premiere arrangement of Sting’s ‘St. Agnes and the Burning Train’.
