"Terza Rima"

BSP Artist

Terza Rima draws its inspiration from Lou Harrison (1917-2003) - spirited composer, poet, artist, instrument builder...to name a few. This year I have been immersing myself in Harrison's music, writings and poetry, as well as writings about him, in anticipation of the 100th anniversary of his birth.
