BC Touring Artist of the Year Nominee 2008
Standing ovations, sold out concerts and rave reviews are the hallmarks of Winter Harp, an ensemble of harps, medieval instruments, violin, viola, percussion, poetry and song.
Join this world-class ensemble for a concert of heartwarming carols, songs and stories in celebration of the Christmas and winter season.
The musicians, in gorgeous medieval attire, perform a hauntingly-beautiful collection of music from well-known carols to Celtic, medieval and even flamenco. A breathtakingly beautiful cathedral backdrop sets the stage for the golden Celtic and classical harps, drums, tambourines, temple bells, and the intricately-carved 12th century replica instruments.
Poetry, music, laughter and tears combine in this magical journey which takes its listeners deep into the heart of winter, deep into the heart of Christmas.
Rare instruments include the ethereal-sounding bass psaltery (the only one like it in the world), the 10th century symphonie and the nyckelharpa. |
