Performance Feb 11 * Hutchinson Center for the Arts * 7pm
A master in the performance and traditions of the Gaelic harp, Minnesota native Ann Heymann continues to spearhead the instrument’s revival.  She performs as a soloist and with Charlie in concerts and festivals throughout the US, Ireland, Scotland, Europe and Australia.  In 2012 Ann & Charlie were awarded a Moore Institute Fellowship at the National university of Ireland, Galway to explore the harp’s role in the performance of bardic poetry.  Author of Secrets of the Gaelic Harp— the instrument’s first tutor--Ann is on staff at Scoil na Clairseach in Ireland and at Ohio Scottish Arts
School, Oberlin College.
