   About Ben Hardt And His Symphony


;

Ben Hardt is in the middle of creating a multi-album project which chronicles the story of two lovers in WWII London, complete with a string section and band. The first six songs released serve as an overview of what promises to be a much larger and more comprehensive album detailing the introduction, separation, and reunion of the lovers, displaying a hopeful story against the backdrop of one of the darkest times in the 20th century.

Ben Hardt performs live with a full band and string quartet

All songs written, arranged, recorded and engineered by Ben Hardt
String arrangements by Ben Hardt and Chris Massa

haha yeah I have a face book too but I prefer Myspace for some reason. but anyways, I came across your music on the Three Rivers Arts Festival website. I was looking at all of the bands that are going to play. I thought your description on the site was interesting so I decided to check you out.
