JOSH LAYNE has been called a ‘harp genius’ and a ‘consummate musician’. He has performed extensively across Canada, the US, Europe, South America, Australia and New Zealand and has been praised for both his virtuosity and the sensitivity of his playing.
Josh has recorded 4 albums of solo harp music, including his 2013 CD “Passage: Music For Solo Harp” which features three of his original compositions for harp. Recent projects include a revival of Bochsa’s long dormant “Concerto No. 1 In D Minor” with a performance at the World Harp Congress in Wales in July 2022.
“It’s Tuesday… It’s Harp Tuesday!” Born out of a passion for teaching, Josh’s biweekly YouTube series “Harp Tuesday” launched in 2010. Harp Tuesday covers all aspects of playing the harp - from your first lesson to in-depth looks at advanced music. With 300+ episodes and over 3 million views, Harp Tuesday is an amazing resource for harpists all over the world.
Josh’s most recent YouTube project is Harpist in the Wild, a video series combining his love of music and the outdoors.
