Standing ovations, sold out concerts and rave reviews - these are the hallmarks of Winter Harp, that performs on Sunday, Nov. 20, at 2:30 p.m. at Raven's Cry Theatre in Sechelt.
Called a journey deep into the heart of winter, Winter Harp takes its audience on a magical journey with stories, songs and carols, both familiar and ancient from Celtic to flamenco.
The acclaimed ensemble's focus is the unique and hauntingly beautiful integration of the world's oldest instruments (harps, flute and percussion) with rare medieval instruments, poetry and song. Unique instruments include the ethereal-sounding bass psaltery (the only one in the world) and the medieval organistrum and nyckelharpa.
Winter Harp features harpists Lori Pappajohn and Jill Whitman, percussionist Lauri Lyster, medieval instrumentalist Joaquin Ayala and 13-year-old harpist Emilie Whitman. Emilie released her debut CD Emilie's Christmas (to rave reviews) when she was just 12.
Tickets are $20 available at Talewind Books and Coast Books or by calling 604-886-2481.
