fiddle, 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. Dozens of candles light the stage providing a backdrop for the
golden Celtic and classical harps, drums, tambourines, temple bells,
violin/fiddle and an assortment of rare 12th century instruments.
Don't miss this magical journey into the heart of winter, the heart of
Christmas. Winter Harp has been featured on numerous radio and television
stations including CBC Radio, Bravo Television and CBC Television's prestigious
Opening Night series.
Rare instruments include the ethereal-sounding bass psaltery (the only one like
it in the world), the 12th century organistrum (the other one like it in Canada
is in the Museum of Man in Ottawa) and the nyckelharpa.
Winter Harp features Celtic harpist and singer Lori Pappajohn, classical
harpist and singer Janelle Nadeau, percussionist and singer Lauri Lyster,
medieval instrumentalist Joaquin Ayala, violinist Mark Ferris and
narrator Ron Halder.
Each year, many of the ensemble’s concerts sell out. So buy your tickets early
to avoid disappointment.
