The new issue of Harp Column is out, featuring Jennifer Swartz, principal harp with the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal. In our feature interview with the Canadian harp icon, Jennifer talks all about her quest for a balanced life and the rich Canadian harp tradition.

“It felt as if she was singing just to me, to each one of the 18,000 people in the sold-out arena crowd, and it was unforgettable,” says Broadway performer Laura Sherman about her moment on stage with Barbra Streisand. What makes a performance memory last a lifetime? We asked harpists around the globe to tell us about their defining moments in this month’s feature article Unforgettable.
