Wednesday 12th September
An Illustrated History of the Harp Family
with Frances Kelly
Local harpist, Frances Kelly, has enjoyed a wide-ranging career reflecting her broad interest in music from the middle ages to the present day. Trained on the modern harp, and with a music degree from Cambridge University, her first musical love was the French impressionist repertoire for her instrument. She spent her early professional years working with London orchestras, the ballet companies and especially in chamber music groups (such as the Nash Ensemble) with whom she performed much contemporary music.
Her work has taken her throughout Europe and to the USA, Mexico, China and Japan and in the past few seasons she was invited to join the Handel and Haydn Society for performances in Boston and in Tanglewood, USA. In this evening’s lecture/recital, Frances will explore the range and repertoire of this well loved instrument, playing on a number of different harps.
University of Chichester Chapel, 7.30pm on Wednesday 12th September
Tickets for this event at £15.00 are available on the door or in advance from Elizabeth Brooks on 01243 378900
