"Score the Dragon" with Don Hillsberg
Join us in our Wednesday offering as we create a film score to the 1917 silent movie classic "Teddy at the Throttle" starring Gloria Swanson. Gloria discovers that her evil guardian has been stealing her inheritance, so he ties her to the railroad tracks! It's up to Teddy to save the day! We will discuss how to create a score, using our harps as the actual "orchestra" to accompany this film. Regardless of playing ability, size of harp, etc., all are welcome to join us (popcorn provided) for an unusual and fun day utilizing our musical talents and imagination.

String
ensemble playing with particular reference to harp and guitar: how to
create great arrangements when you have TOO MANY STRINGS!
A fun look at plucked string arranging for Irish and Scottish traditional
music, swing jazz, bluegrass &c, with particular reference to harp and

to approach the creation of duo arrangements. Well, here's your chance to learn
from the master! Chris has over thirty years' experience of creating beautiful
harp / guitar arrangements with Máire Ní Chathasaigh. You'll learn what to do
