At a time when Telemann and Bach were composing fugues in continental Europe\, the Bardic harping tradition was alive and vibrant in Ireland resulting in a whole repertoire of Irish harp tunes that are now carried via pipes\, fiddles and a host of different instruments. We have the stunning sounds of Montreal-based violist Alexis Chartrand\, bringing his unique Gut-bow approach to traditional Quebec repertoire. In contrast\, the GRAMMY-nominated violinist Christina Day\, along with theorbist Michael Leopold\, performs one of Heinrich Biber's Mystery Sonatas. Artistic Director Maeve Gilchrist will also bring in longtime collaborator Kyle Sanna and bassist Logan Coale to premier some new music for harp and electric guitar inspired by a Seamus Heaney translation of a middle English Poem on the mysticism of Hares! Don't miss this richly imaginative evening of 17th century inspired exploration in a completely contemporary fashion! X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
