For another Galway Early Music Festival fix of historical harp this weekend (Italian baroque triple harp), tune in to the gorgeous (and LIVE!) Abendmusik: Bach and Before concert on Sunday with Mark Duley and Resurgam, broadcast from the medieval St. Nicholas Collegiate Church in Galway. 


HHSI director, Siobhán Armstrong, also extends an invitation to you all to the festival launch of her ensemble's debut CD: Music, Ireland and the Sixteenth Century, which is riddled with the sounds of historical harps of varying kinds!
