2-week Harp workshop and Castlebay Performance!

Join the West Claremont Center for Music and the Arts (WCCMA) for two harp workshops on Thursdays April 10 and 24, 6:30-7:15p! No musical experience necessary, and you’ll learn everything you need to know to play harp in the Campfire Songs workshop with Maine harping/storytelling duo Castlebay on Saturday, April 26. Workshops are cumulative and there are only five harps available, so a firm commitment is required. Fee is by donation, suggested $5 per class; at the end of the first class, you’ll have the chance to rent your harp so that you can practice at home. To register contact [email protected], or call 603-558-8174. For more information, click HERE.

All are welcome at the Castlebay concert Saturday, April 26 at 4pm. The concert will be followed by an al fresco dinner (weather permitting), then a Campfire Songs workshop at 6:30 which is open to all singers, dancers, whistlers, puppeteers, and other fun-lovers! No advanced preparation is necessary for this workshop, unless you would like to join in on harp and don’t play it yet. For more about Castlebay, visit castlebay.net.

Also, make sure to stop by the Common Man Inn and Restaurant to vote on our tree! We share the decorating duties with our friends (and facility sponsor) Union Church, so you will find our tree by looking for the sign that includes both organizations.
