Soft Winds Reviews:
"I've listened to a lot of harp music, but the way you play with your fingers is truly extraordinary. It feels like gentle rain falling over endless green fields. There is something so peaceful and pure in your playing"

The Bentley Project was created to explore, perform and record multiple genres of music using current acoustic instruments, replicas of ancient instruments and synthesizers . We use these instruments in the ancient, traditional and contemporary forms.
Feeling the love!
