Three Harps and special guest Graham Fitkin
In aid of St Levan Church 'Raise the Roof' appeal
Join us for a unique evening with internationally renowned harpist Ruth Wall and composer Graham Fitkin. Ruth will perform music by composers including Handel, Satie and Piazzolla alongside old Scottish tunes from her homeland. She plays three harps - the large concert harp, the sitar-like Renaissance bray harp and the beautiful medieval Gaelic wire harp (clàrsach) - conjuring up mesmerising and intricate sound worlds on these unique instruments. Graham will introduce the evening and make a couple of guest appearances.
