Harp Concert: Golden Jubilee

with Ann and Charlie Heymann

Enjoy a free performance with Gaelic harp, button accordion, cittern, and vocals.

This concert marks Ann and Charlie’s 50th year together in a musical journey that has led to travel throughout the U.S., Ireland, Scotland, Wales, continental Europe, and Australia.

Known as “The pioneer who returned the Gaelic harp to a living tradition” (The Scottish Harp Society), Ann is a premiere performer and authority on the wire-strung Irish harp known as “Cláirseach” (Klar-shuck; literally “board/wooden trough” and “woman”).

Charlie is always happy to knock out tunes on the button accordion, and he also sings a broad range of material in Irish and English spanning over a thousand years, both a cappella and with his distinctive cittern.

Besides performing, the couple has given university and festival lectures, workshops, and seminars wherever they’ve travelled throughout the world.

Don't Miss!
Ann and Charlie will also provide a lecture: My Harps—My Teachers on Monday, August 4, 6:30-7:30pm
