Acclaimed ensemble Leg- ends of the Celtic Harp opens the door to this mystical world with music played on Celtic harps, Irish bouzouki, cittern and Swedish nyckelharpa, tell- ing the tales of that legendary land — from which no one re- turns unchanged. This trio of Celtic harp- ers features Patrick Ball, Lisa Lynne and Aryeh Frankfurt- er, who have toured exten- sively throughout the U.S. to sold-out audiences and rave reviews. One recent review states, “Legends of the Celtic Harp is a blend of music and oratory, falling somewhere between concert and theater. It spanned nearly the range of human feeling, from humor to tragedy, tenderness to rage, reality to mysticism, and more besides. The effects were pow- erful and exhilarating.” Ball is an American master of the Irish harp and a capti- vating spoken word artist. He has recorded nine instrumen- tal and three spoken word al- bums, which have sold over a half million copies inter- nationally, winning national awards in both the music and spoken word categories. Ball’s critically acclaimed concerts and solo theatrical productions have toured the United States, Canada, Ireland and the UK, and have been awarded grants by the California Arts Council and the Circle of Excellence Award from the National Sto- rytelling Association. Lynne is a multi-instru- mentalist and performer who has gained worldwide rec- ognition for her original mu- sic featuring her Celtic harp. She is widely acclaimed for composing memorable and heartwarming melodies on the Windham Hill/Sony mu- sic labels that have repeated- ly placed in the Top 10 and Top 20 on the Billboard new age music charts. Lynne tours year round performing at large U.S. festivals and performing art centers. Her work in ther- apeutic music has gained rec- ognition from NBC and CNN ‘The Door Between the Worlds’ 4 p.m. Sunday, April 24 CCC Performing Arts Center 588 16th St., Astoria $15 Submitted photo Legends of the Celtic Harp trio features Patrick Ball, Lisa Lynne and Aryeh Frankfurter. and numerous newspapers and magazines including the Wall Street Journal.

Frankfurter is also a re- nowned Celtic harper and world-traveling multi-instru- mentalist who went from vir- tuosic progressive rock violin to intricate Swedish folk and Celtic music. He began with classical violin at the age of 3. His early studies and suc- cesses led him to explore var- ious ethnic and international musical genres. Frankfurter taught himself to play a vari- ety of instruments bowed and plucked, including the rarely seen Swedish nyckelharpa. His uncommon approach to the Celtic harp and folk harp repertoire and his numerous critically and commercially successful albums have earned him credit as a musician, re- cording and performance artist of extraordinary talents and abilities.
