Alison's
Harp Journey |
Canadian Alison Vardy found herself in the deep South of New Zealand with a newly discovered passion for
the Celtic harp but with no harp, nor any prospect of a harp teacher and only an indominatable will to make music.
Alison located one of the few NZ harps then available, took an odd lesson from travelling international harpists and began
a wonderful journey that continues today.
Now back in Canada with almost 25 years of harpistry her life is all things Celtic harp playing professionally; performing, teaching, composing and now importing harps for sales to Canadians who wish to start a journey of their own.
The harp speaks to many of us like no other. It certainly does for Alison and for all the enthusiasts that she meets daily.
This website is a journey into Alison's world. Come, visit and enjoy!
