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.
