Harpa Concert
At 3pm this Sunday the 26th, “Harpa” featuring our very own Martha Hill will perform a concert in our sanctuary. Consisting of seven American Celtic harpists, Harpa allows local audiences and musicians the chance to engage with the harp, demonstrating its beauty and versatility, and proving its ability to transcend cultural differences.
