LUMBERTON — World renowned harpist Josh Layne returns to Lumberton on Thursday at 7 p.m. for a concert at Trinity Episcopal Church.
The event is sponsored by International Artists Foundation, the Robeson County Arts Council and the Lumberton Visitors Bureau.
“This young man is one of the foremost harpists alive and performing today,” said Mark Andersen, a multi-award-winning organist from Lumberton. “He is doing this concert for us on his return to British Colombia, Canada, from his 2018 European concert tour.”
Layne started composing in 2005. His solo works for harp “Passage” (2005) and “Rhapsody” (2007) were both selected and performed at the Sonic Boom festival of new music in Vancouver. In the spring of 2013, he released his fourth CD of solo harp music. Called “Passage: music for solo harp,” it features three of Josh’s original compositions.
The concert is free to the public and will begin promptly at 7 p.m.
