Harpfestival: Anneleen Lenaerts, harp

donderdag, april 5th, 2012

Tijdens het harpfestival – vorige week in Utrecht – waren veel wereldberoemde, vaak nog jonge, harpisten te horen. Natuurlijk Nederlandse sterren op de harp zoals Lavinia Meijer en Godelieve Schrama, maar ook de Fransman Emmanuel Ceysson, winnaar van het belangrijke ARD concours, en Andrew Lawrence King, harpist en oude muziek specialist.

Ook de jonge Vlaamse harpiste Anneleen Lenaerts gaf een concert. Zij is pas 25 jaar, maar nu al de soloharpiste van de Wiener Philharmoniker. Ze won een indrukwekkend aantal hoofdprijzen bij belangrijke concoursen. Luister naar haar zondagochtendconcert (1 april, Vredenburg Leeuwenberg) tijdens het Harpfestival.
