Glass Tones

Written by and featuring Brien Engel .

Brien is one of the very few professional musicians in the world who plays the seldom-heard instrument now referred to as glass harp or ‘musical glasses,’ a set of fifty water-filled pitched glasses, played on their rims to create mesmerizing music. His current (third generation) instrument – the one with the 50 glasses – is one of the largest in the world, having unusual range for an instrument of its type. Brien’s extensive repertoire includes Jazz standards, classical music and many popular songs.
