HARP SIGHTING: ANN HEYMANN & HER TRINITY COLLEGE REPLICA



Ann Heymann, ancient harper extraordinaire, and her Trinity College replica harp made by David Kortier of Duluth, Minnesota. Its bass strings are 18k gold.

Ann and her husband Charlie have recently been awarded the prestigious Moore Fellowship at the National University of Ireland in Galway, and for one year, will explore the role of the Cláirseach in the performance of poetry in Early Ireland (in Ireland!). Congratulations you two!
