Harp-Related & Early Music Events
NOTE: The CHP Events Page is currently dormant, but will hopefully be revived in Jan. 2019
This page is dedicated to harp workshops, concerts and other harp-related events in North America and around the world. If you have an event you'd like mentioned here, just e-mail the details (date, time, place, web page if you have one, and a contact number or e-mail address) to events@celticharper.com.
We are also happy to list early music concerts and other early music events (not necessarily harp related). Early music groups and websites are listed in our Historical section; Celtic music events and pages can be found in our Celtic Links section.
Ongoing: The Ottawa Harp Players Community harp circle meets every last Sunday of the month (September to June) from 14h00 to 16h00 for some playing, sharing, laughing and of course, tea!! (Ottawa, Ontario). Contact Chantal Dupuis by email at: katoux3@hotmail.com
Ongoing: Harp Ensemble Class with Alys Howe, Vancouver, B.C. Offered at the intermediate level, twice a month on alternate Tuesday evenings near UBC. An instructional offering in which members are taught tunes and coached as an ensemble, working on technique, musicality, arranging, and performance skills within the context of our common repertoire. Have fun playing with friends and feel motivated in your practising! Contact Alys Howe at alyshowe@alyshowe.com, or 604-221-7665.
Ongoing: Celt's Cauldron Ceilidhs, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, 1st and 3rd weekend of every month. The cottage where the ceilidhs take place is located on Lake Ainslie about 15 miles east of Inverness. Any interested person should call (902)756-2214. We are also a new harp and folk music store in the area, and are doing the ceilidhs out of our home for the love of Celtic music. Fiddles, whistles, flutes and other instruments are welcome. The emphasis is traditional old world Celtic. I am particularly fond of slow airs, if that piques anyone else's interest. - Info courtesy of Cliff, harpandlore@yahoo.com
