In this episode, Alexandra and Lena are joined by Elizabeth Landis, harpist and soloist for the Olympia Symphony Orchestra's April concert.

They discuss Liz's passion for pushing the harp’s boundaries, the stunning Ginastera concerto’s complex pedal techniques, to the hidden stories of censorship and resilience in Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5.

Most people don’t realize how intricate and technically daring the harp can be—until they hear Elizabeth Landis. She breaks down her journey from a tiny three-year-old entranced by a giant instrument to becoming principal harpist of Symphony Tacoma.
