Do you know any school aged harp players? This year’s EIHF Junior Ensemble is a three day day project bringing together young harpers of all ages to take part in a performance of On the Edge of the Woods. The ensemble will work together to create the performance of a magical suite of newly written music based upon the traditional tale of The Giant and The Swan. The story will be told alongside the music by storyteller Daniel Serridge and the concert will feature a performance from Mòd prizewinners Hazel Brandt and Katie Heron.

The project is open to all school aged harpers of any level of experience provided they have access to an instrument and some previous experience of playing.

It is FREE to attend for participants.

Music will be distributed at the beginning of March for participants to familiarise themselves with prior to rehearsals. During rehearsals participants will have the opportunity to contribute to the creative process and shape the performance.

*Open to all school aged harp players*
