Harpist Lavinia Meijer reflects on life’s musical connections

Harp player Lavinia Meijer opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Harpist Lavinia Meijer uncovers the important role the harp once had in tango music, finds composer Brad Meldau in the kitchen and follows Johann Strauss’s journey down the Danube.

She also discovers that you can never assume how Beethoven will sound, and plays some mesmeric music by Philip Glass.

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
