Bay Area Youth Harp Ensemble Spring Concert May 30, 2009

An afternoon concert featuring members of the BAY AREA YOUTH HARP ENSEMBLE on traditional Celtic, Latin and African harps. Dressed in traditional ethnic costumes from around the world, BAYHE will present music from India, Mexico, Russia, Israel, Ireland, Venezuela, Afghanistan and other cultures. Selections from their CD, "Music from Around the World", will be featured in the concert.

Popular Bay Area Celtic harp trio TRISKELA (Diana Stork, Shawna Spiteri, Portia Diwa) joins the bill along with percussionist Teed Rockwell.

About the Artists:

BAYHE featires some of the Bay Area's brightest young harpists. BAYHE has performed in venues such as at the Spreckels Performing Arts Center, SF City Hall, Koret Auditorium, Zeum, Randall Museum.

Triskela has been performing together since 1997, playing a mix of traditional music of the British Isles and original arrangements for their trio of handmade Celtic harps. Lush 3-part vocal harmonies and a variety of flutes and traditional drums complete their sound. Music from their CD, Voice of Tara, was recently selected for the international documentary, "Reclaiming the Blade"

Percussionist Teed Rockwell has performed with Triskela since their inception. He is also known internationally for his performances of World music--especially Hindustani Classical ragas on the Touch-style Fretboard.
