Press Reviews "Ms. Fisher's neatly syncopated harp parts gave the music a twinkling surface." Jon Pareles, New York Times. "There was no speaking. Only the hands touching the instruments, striking rhythmically, repeating something, singing a verse, telling a secret, 14 hands floatig in the air." Gustavo Montenegro, La Republica, Guatemala City. "There are many sides to this local harpist/composer. It is not unusual to see her play a staid classical gig in the morning and a smoky music club at night. Strong rhythms form the undercurrent of her instrumental music with Arpa.un.
