Huron Harp School and Blyth Festival Orchestra a special treat showcasing more than 30 harps Music lovers were enter- tained with a delightful concert on April 16, when the Huron Harp School joined forces with the Blyth Festival Orchestra to pre- sent Celtic Concerto by Laura Zaerr. Kingsbridge Centre was the perfect venue with light from the beautiful stained glass win- dows reflecting the evening sun. Huron Harp School, with over 30 harps, filled the stage as they performed various Celtic, Latin, and popular pieces. Two of the senior students played solos; Meghan Maguire performed her own compo- sition, Foretaste, and Amy Good played a Scottish air entitled Leaving Stoer, a tribute to settlers being forced to leave their home in the highlands. Maggie and Hannah Burgsma treated the crowd to a stunning arrangement of several hymn tunes. Huron Harp School is continuing to make its presence known in Huron County, and all of the students are a credit to their teacher and direc- tor, Sharon Johnston of Goderich. Blyth Festival Orchestra took the stage next, with a flute concerto by A. Mar- cello. Flautist Jan Searle's melodies filled the hall, ably accompanied by the strings. Their rendition of Hebrides Overture brought the sound of wind and waves to mind. They com- pleted their set with a lively rendition of Pachelbel's Canon, which transformed into a traditional fiddle tune. The highlight of the even- ing was Celtic Concerto, when 28 harps, 2 flutes, vio- lins, violas, cello and double bass took the stage. This piece is a wonderful amalga- mation of Celtic melodies structured in classical forms, and it became a showcase for the Celtic harp and the amazing acoustics of the Kingsbridge Centre. Of the 8 movements, the first and last were performed by the entire harp school and orchestra, while the inner 6 movements again featured senior stu- dents Maggie and Hannah Burgsma. The audience showed their appreciation with a standing ovation. Huron Harp School is a growing force in our area. The group has recently been nominated for a Huron Cultural Award in the Cultural Event or Organization category, cel- ebrating a 10 year anniver- sary for the Huron Harp School. Boasting 12 to 20 harpers of all ages and abilities, the Huron Harp School is a growing ensemble based in Goderich, under the direc- tion of local musician Sha- ron Johnston. It consists of students from all areas of Huron County and beyond; ages range from seven year- olds to seniors. The group's mandate is that music is accessible to all, as every- one plays together, at their own level. Huron Harp School members can be found performing at wed- dings, churches, special events, and other random and unexpected loca- tions.
