Winter Harp Ethereal Holiday Performance

Winter Harp returns this December with ethereal holiday performance

The Cowichan Performing Arts Centre is proud to present Winter Harp on Sunday, December 11 at 2pm. Featuring elegant velvet gowns, golden instruments, candles, backdrops of cathedrals and snow, the performance is reminiscent of Christmases of long ago.

Classical and Celtic harps combine with flutes, violin/ fiddle, rare medieval instruments, percussion, poetry and song to wrap you snugly in the silken cloak of Christmas. Medieval carols, rare carols and familiar carols will have your heart singing.

Over the decades since its first moving performances, this acclaimed ensemble has become renowned for delivering beautiful, soulstirring presentations. Concerts are must-see events on holiday calendars, with many audience members returning year after year – passing the Winter Harp tradition on to new generations. What has audiences returning again and again is the sheer wonder of the concert experience that captures the spirit of the holiday season.

Winter Harpʼs outstanding musicians and singers, clad in colorful medieval attire, perform a collection of music ranging from familiar carols to Celtic and medieval carols. The hauntinglybeautiful music features a fascinating combination of modern instruments and an assortment of rare medieval instruments, including the bass psaltery, organistrum, hurdy-gurdy and nyckelharpa.
