Thursday night's opening reception will feature the Brandywine Harp Orchestra.
The group was organized in 2000 by Janet Witman, a nationally recognized harpist, teacher and arranger. The harp orchestra consists of 17 celtic harpers of diverse ages with seasoned harp skills and extensive musical backgrounds from the Brandywine Valley of Southeastern PA, DE and MD.
Their programs feature the many talents of its members- choreographed dancing, solo and choral singing, poetry, percussion, storytelling, original compositions and special musical guests. They have delighted audiences at Longwood Gardens, Mt Gretna Tabernacle, the Everett Theater, the American Harp Society 2004 National Conference and over a hundred church and community concert series. They have produced two best selling Cds.
In 2009 they were the first American celtic harp orchestra to perform at the Edinburgh International Harp Festival in the festival's 29-year history.
