The Armidale Harp Ensemble will feature in the next Music on a Market Sunday concert on May 27 at 12.30pm in the Uniting Church. The ensemble is directed by Benjamin Thorn and will play music from the Middle Ages and the Celtic folk tradition.
The harp has a romantic image and one of its strengths is that it is almost an ideal instrument for improvisation. The ensemble’s repertoire consists of improvised elaborations of melodies from various sources, ground basses and explorations of various modes and scales.
Admission to the concert is free, though donations are encouraged. Tea, coffee and sausages are available at the Uniting Church before the concert.
