An Evening with Harps at Concert I

Our opening 2010 Season Concert I with harpist Cheryl Ann Fulton and ensemble was very well received.

Here are some comments (send us yours, too!):

"Cheryl Ann Fulton and three of her students played a program of traditional music from Wales on Welsh traditional harps. These lovely instruments are difficult to play, because they have three sets of strings. The ensemble played familiar Welsh melodies with much virtuousity and beauty.

Cheryl Ann Fulton holds a Ph. D. in music from Indiana University and is a specialist in Welsh and Italian historical harps. She is both a scholar and a performer on these instruments."

"We found it charming. I'd never heard of harps having any more than a single set of strings, much less 3 sets! Cheryl Ann Fulton was passionate about the Irish Harp and she told amusing and informative stories about the harps and the compositions."

-- Judy Foreman (Board Member)

"Today while cleaning, I unwrapped Cheryl Ann Fulton's CD. Listening to The Airs of Wales, my heart is filled with the joy only beautiful music provides. Thank you to the Baroque Festival for providing the opportunity to hear her play in concert."
