Celtic Harpers gather to celebrate the history and music of this ancient Bardic instrument.
Ventura, CA: The Clan Currie Society will hold its second ‘Harp Glen’ at Seaside Highland Games October 12-13th. One of the goals of the Harp Glen is to introduce the harp to a wider group of people who may not be familiar with the instrument. Young children and adults will have an opportunity to try out a harp in the “Harp Petting Zoo,” and hopefully this exposure will encourage them to consider learning to play themselves.
Harp Glen will include a series of panels tracing the history and development of the harp with particular emphasis on the Celtic Harp and its role within the Bardic community of ancient Scotland. Harpers, both accomplished and students of the instrument, will be on hand to play and demonstrate the versatility of this historic instrument. A more formal ensemble will play both days of the Games.
The Highland Games are held at Seaside Park, Ventura County Fairgrounds, 10 W. Harbor Blvd., in the city of Ventura October 11th-13th. For more information visit: www.seaside-games.com. For more information on the Clan Currie society, go to: www.clancurrie.com
