Join us ONLINE, Sunday 21 September, 4–6 pm, Irish time for our Harpers' Gathering community social time, hosted by HHSI volunteer, Barbara Karlik. Come and enjoy harp-related talk, share your projects and progress, and try out tunes you want to play in front of a small, very supportive audience. From 5 pm, enjoy an informal interview with this month's guest, historical harpist Heidi Rosenzweig, who has been working with the newly attributed sixteenth-century harp manuscript, Leipzig, 191.
Heidi is a pioneer in the study and performance of Historical Harps from the Middle Ages to the Classical period. Having grown up in Germany without mobile phones, computers and virtual libraries, she studied music therapy and pedal harp in Vienna after her baccalaureate. Refining her studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis she discovered her love and vocation for Historical Harps and immersed herself in the different sounds and playing techniques of these specialized instruments, most of which were being rebuilt for her for the first time. For many years she performed with many different international music groups, domestic and abroad. Editor of the renowned book Historical Harps, she built up the Historical Harp class at the Schola Cantorum and in her more than 35 years of teaching experience at this institute she has had the great pleasure of being able to play an inspirational part in developing the potential of future generations of musicians.
