Nush Lewis started writing music, keeping the harp at the forefront, in 2010

HARP, the string instrument producing notes with the subtle movement of fingers, originated in Mesopotamia around 3,500 BC. The apparatus also flourished in Egypt, China and Persia. Due to the lack of availability of good quality harps in India, there are hardly any teachers, but Nush Lewis - a Mumbai-based vocalist and harpist - is trying to bring in a new wave. She mastered the instrument from KM Music Conservatory in Chennai, and is spreading the warmth, through gigs, right here. Ahead of a performance, Lewis throws light on the instrument.
