This project tells of European-American musical exchange at the beginning of the 20th century, the golden era of the transatlantic liners. Through concert tours and emigrations, the chosen composers toured and emigrated across the Atlantic, experiencing foreign impressions and recalling traditional themes. They were inspired by folk music, poetry to blues. I present these facets in original and arranged works for harp.
“In the Atlantic crossings and the mutual influences of European and American composers, I felt my own family history with changing migration across the ocean” (Anne-Sophie Bertrand)
