More news from L'Espace Camac - the Atlantic Harp Duo will be giving a benefit concert for victims of the recents floods in Thailand. One half of the duo, Elizabeth Jaxon, is Principal Harp with the Thailand Philharmonic and Professor at Mahidol University's College of Music, so this is a cause close to the duo's heart.

Lecuona - "Malaguena"
