All the Strings to My Bow: An Interview with Harpist and Historian Nancy Hurrell

https://hurrellharp.comMy guest this week on HarpSong™️ is harpist and self described “Harp Detective” Nancy Hurrell. We had such a fun time talking about the harp, inspiration, and bringing history to life.  Nancy is the author of the definitive biography on nineteenth-century Irish harp maker John Egan, The Egan Irish Harps: Tradition, patrons and players.  She has taught early harp classes at the Boston Conservatory, Brandeis University, Benslow Music (England), and workshops at The Somerset Folk Harp Festival,  the Historical Harp Society and the American Harp Society.   With academic degrees in harp performance and fine art, Nancy presents lecture-demonstrations on rare harps in museum collections.  Join me over on Patreon for an extended interview with Nancy as we talk about inspiring student harpists and the next book she has in the works among other fun harp related topics.
