"LEGENDS OF THE CELTIC HARP" is a musical journey into the heart of a legendary instrument. Three of the world’s premier Celtic harpers have created a dramatic ensemble that takes you deep into the myths, magic and fabled history of this most captivating instrument.
Ball is "a rare artist." For in playing the ancient, legendary brass-strung harp of Ireland with its crystalline, bell-like voice and performing marvelous tales of wit and enchantment, he not only brings new life to two cherished traditions, but blends them in concert to create "a richly theatrical and hauntingly beautiful performance."
Lynn has released several internationally recognized recordings on the prestigious Windham Hill and New Earth Record labels, while simultaneously running her own label Lavender Sky Music. She has made numerous television and national radio appearances, including NBC, CNN, and Fox News Atlanta. Her music is heard throughout the award winning PBS special "Alone in the Wilderness," amongst many other soundtracks for commercial television and independent films. Lynn is founder and director of "Harps for Hearts" an innovative music program that places live music and musicians in several California hospitals.
In 1994, after leaving a doctoral program in philosophy, Frankfurter began his career as a recording and performance artist. He has 10 harp-orientated CDs, a DVD, and has been a primary contributor in composition, arrangement, performance and production of two crticially acclaimed CDs with the trance-rock world-fusion Ensemble, Azigza. There are currently two books published of his unique arrangements of Celtic and Scandinavian folk music.
