This queen of instruments can make not only lovely, heavenly sounds but also devilishly scary ones. The Czech Philharmonic's queen of the harp Jana Boušková will tell us all about it. The harp is her whole life. In 1992 she became the only Czech to win the world's most prestigious harp competition, and she took home with her a beautiful harp as her prize.
