THE THREE HARPS OF CHRISTMAS

Ruth Wallprojects

In December 2012, in 10 foot of Dolomite snow, Ruth and Graham began work on a new album. The music is a selection of their favourite Christmas carols, rearranged for Concert harp, Bray harp and Gaelic wire strung harp by Graham. Candlelit recitals took place in stately homes and castles throughout Great Britain,  and were introduced by Graham, who traced the history of the carols, while Ruth performed the carols alongside medieval music and gems from Piazzolla, Debussy and Satie. Venues included Holkham Hall, Fyvie Castle, Glendurgan, Culzean Castle and Falkland Palace.

Ruth and Graham will be touring the show again in 2018.
