Summary

CBSO harpists Katherine Thomas and Alex Rider perform arrangements of Ravel, Debussy and Salzedo at the CBSO Centre in Birmingham.

Why it's fantastic

Few instruments capture the delicate magic of French impressionism quite like the harp, let alone two of them playing together. This hour-long lunch break concert features a rare chance to hear the shimmering melodies of Ravel and Debussy reimagined through a forest of strings in a relaxed, intimate setting.

  • 01Salzedo: Song in the Night
  • 02Ravel: Mother Goose
