Grainne Hambly and William Jackson. Presented by the Blue Ridge Irish Music School on Saturday March 31st, 2007. The music is lovely; although it’s too bad you can’t see Grainne’s hands when she’s playing. Warning: Occasional shaky cam action.
Unfortunately I haven’t found a way to imbed MySpace videos using WordPress, but this is definitely worth checking out:
Live 2005 Vincenzo Zitello in concert solo celtic harp
Playing two harps at once is quite a feat; but doing it well is even more impressive. You can learn more about Vincenzo Zitello by visiting his website: http://www.vincenzozitello.it
No, this isn’t an endorsement of Heartland Harps (although I would love to have one of my own, if space and finances weren’t so tight). It is, however, a lovely rendition of Planxty Cruit on wire harp performed by Ann Haymann. And they are very pretty harps. Maybe it will inspire you to come up with some Celtic decorations of your own!
Happy Spring everyone! While the official first day of spring is usually on the 21st, it’s on the 20th this year because we’re in a leap year. I can still see lots of snow from my study window here in chilly Ontario (lots and lots of snow), but hopefully warmer weather is on its way.
To help us all get into the spring spirit, The March Tune of the Month is up on the Chubby Sparrow Music free music page. This month’s tune is a lively slip jig in E minor called “The Butterfly”.

July 21-25 ‘08 - Country Airs Harp Camp, an annual event held on a farm in Woodslee, ON. There will be three instructors providing fun and learning through art, harp instruction, composition, drama, storytelling. The cost is $200 (CDN) for this day camp, lunch and snacks included plus all supplies for activities. Last year we outgrew the house so our final concert was in the barn with the new foal, Whiskey, watching. Contact Anita Leschied 519 975-0260, Woodslee, Ontario.
August 4-10 ‘08 - Goderich Celtic College and Celtic Roots Festival (Aug. 8-10), Goderich, Ontario. The website probably won’t be fully updated until sometime later this spring, but the current dates and contact information are now up at www.celticfestival.ca. If you’re thinking of attending the Celtic College, planning ahead is a good idea, since the hotel rooms and B&B spots fill up quickly! The two times I’ve taken harp classes at the Goderich College they were both very rewarding experiences. Goderich is a lovely place to spend a week immersed in Celtic Culture, whether your main interest is music, dance, song, or artwork. The festival (Fri.-Sun.) is always top-notch, with tons of great performers (including harpists!). I’ll be sure to add in the details for this year’s harp teachers and performers as soon as that information becomes available. Hope to see you there! - T.H.

Friday Feb. 29, 7:00 pm: the SonoNovo Chamber Ensemble will present “The Harp’s the Thing.” The orchestra joins forces with the three leading ladies of the harp in Toledo, Denise Grupp-Verbon, Nancy Lendrim and Julie Buzzelli to present chamber works for harp and orchestra. Ms. Lendrim is the principal harpist for the Toledo Symphony and will be featured in Debussy’s Danses Sacrees et Profanes. Ms. Buzzelli is professor of harp at BGSU and will be the soloist in Ravel’s haunting Introduction and Allegro for Flute, Clarinet, Harp and Strings. Ms. Grupp-Verbon, principal harp with SonoNovo and a member of the music faculty at Owens Community College, will be giving the world premiere of a new work by Music Associate Wayne Anthony written especially for her, “Suite for Harp and Chamber Orchestra.” The work is unique in that it is written for the folk or lever harp as opposed to a traditional pedal harp. The concert will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church, in downtown Toledo. Tickets are $8/$10 and we are expecting a full house, so reserve your tickets early by calling the church office at 419-243-1231.

Here’s to a year ringing out with the sounds of plucked harp strings all around the world!
This space has been a little quiet lately due to a busy holiday season of gigging and practicing followed by an extended illness on my part, but hopefully will revive shortly.
In the meantime, you can check out upcoming harp events for 2008 on the Celtic Harp Events Page.
Happy harping everyone!
