The Santa Cruz Baroque Festival's 2010 season of "Musical Voyages" makes its first stop in 19th-century Wales, where Concert I, Holiday in Wales commemorates a fascinating event in English history.
In 1889, while a guest at the Palé Mansion in North Wales, Queen Victoria found herself transported by the music of famous Welsh gypsy and harpist John Roberts and his 9 sons, playing Welsh triple harps and English pedal harps.Acclaimed harpist Cheryl Ann Fulton will recreate this magical atmosphere in an evening of Welsh airs and dances. In her own words: "Strike the Harp and Let's Be Merry!"
Fulton is recognized as an imaginative and engaging performer, and is a leading pioneer in the study and performance of historical harps.
This performance takes place at the UCSC Music Center Recital Hall on February 6, and begins at 7:30 pm. (Campus directions here)
