Harp Duo

[Mar 16]

Ukiah Community Concert Association presents an additional concert featuring two Celtic harps, the rare Swedish Nyckelharpa, Ukrainan Bandura, Cittern and more. Lisa Lynne & Aryeh Frankfurter will play traditional instrumental music from Sweden and Ireland as well as heartwarming original compositions. The concert is at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church at 640 S. Orchard Ave in Ukiah on Friday, March 16 at 7PM.

Lisa Lynne & Aryeh Frankfurter are a Celtic harp and multi-instrumentalist duo. They share backgrounds as progressive rock musicians who later discovered a love for Celtic, Renaissance and Swedish music on unique acoustic instruments. They tour extensively playing in performing arts centers, theaters and intimate venues around the US and Europe.

Lisa is widely acclaimed for composing memorable melodies on the Windham Hill/Sony music labels that have repeatedly placed in the Top 10 & Top 20 on the Billboard New age music charts. Lisa's music is heard throughout the award-winning PBS special "Alone in the Wilderness," amongst many other soundtracks for commercial television and independent films.

Aryeh Frankfurter is a renowned Celtic harper and multi-instrumentalist who went from virtuosic progressive rock violin to intricate Swedish folk and Celtic Music. He began with Classical violin at the age of three, and studied music throughout his life. He has 17 albums to his credit, works on film and television scores as composer and arranger, and continues to teach himself to play a variety of instruments, most recently the rarely seen Swedish Nyckelharpa.

Lisa and Aryeh have performed at the Willits Community Theater in the past, and teach at Lark Camp at Mendocino Woodlands every summer, where Marilyn Simpson has studied under them. She asked UCCA to help bring these two incredibly gifted artists to our community. The Ukiah Concert Association has been presenting nationally acclaimed talent since 1947. This all-volunteer nonprofit's mission is to build and maintain a permanent concert audience and cultivate an interest in fine music among the citizens of the community and surrounding area. It is also their goal to encourage music appreciation in the schools of the community.  A suggested donation of $20 is appreciated at the door.
