On a candlelit stage.

Last Wednesday , we went to see Winter Harp performing at the Sid Williams Theatre . The group played a variety of instruments , including one which I had never seen before ; a five foot tall bass psaltery. Psalteries date back 3000 years , and this one on the Sid's stage was unique , made by Edward Turner of Vancouver.

I was particularly interested to hear the harps. Two were played that night ; the classical pedal harp and the Celtic Harp. Both were beautifully played and created a magical sound to all present.

All in all, we experienced a lovely combination of colourful mediaeval constumes, candles , carols and winter themed narratives.
