AN INTERVIEW WITH LISA LYNNE & ARYEH FRANKFURTER
Two Celtic harpists converge in global chamber music duets
Lisa Lynne and Aryeh Frankfurter are best known for playing the Celtic harp, but that doesn't quite convey what happened when they got together on the album, Two Worlds One. Besides their harps, they pulled out violin, bandura, bouzouki, guitar and more, creating enhanced duets on original songs and traditional tunes from Scandinavia. Lisa Lynne and Aryeh Frankfurter take us on a journey where two worlds and two hearts became one.
