Karen Marshalsay - Traditional Scottish Harp Music
Enjoy an evening concert of traditional and contemporary music, from the Scottish, Gaelic, piping and harp worlds at Beacon Arts Centre courtesy of Karen Marshalsay.
About Karen Marshalsay - Traditional Scottish Harp Music
One of Scotland’s leading harpers, Karen Marshalsay released her critically acclaimed album, The Road to Kennacraig (Four Stars - The Scotsman) in June 2019.
A master of all three Scottish harps -the warm-sounding modern gut-strung clarsach, its wire-strung Gaelic predecessor and the distinctive Bray harp - Karen currently plays in Irish music legend Cathal McConnell’s trio, with whom she has appeared at Celtic Connections in 2018 and 2020. She has also worked with Gaelic piping-singing authority, Allan MacDonald, appearing in his Herald Angel-winning concerts for Edinburgh International Festival, and her love of pipe music gives her playing superb richness.
Great tunes and the entertaining stories behind them feature in an intimate concert.
