There was joy in our School of Music this morning, not at all an unusual occurrence, but this joy had the distinctive sound of a Celtic harp – 14 of them, in fact.

It was the completion of a three day master class for harp students from Alberta and BC led by renowned harpist, composer and teacher Kim Robertson from Wisconsin and Janelle Nadeau, well known for her work with the Vancouver Symphony and Opera Orchestras. The short concert offered a showcase for the students, most of whom had taken up the harp as adults, to play for family and friends who filled the concert space with well-earned applause.
