SUMMARY:Island Mountain Harp and Cello School: Friday Night Concert with Dave and Shoshanna
DESCRIPTION:Cap off our week-long historic Harp + Cello School (36 years!) with this early evening concert featuring Prince George’s Shoshanna Godber! Shoshanna’s concert will include sorrowful Scottish airs\, cheerful Irish jigs\, originals and even a pop song for good measure! Shoshanna will be joined by partner in music and life\, Dave Godber on guitar and Irish whistle.\n\nABOUT SHOSHANNA:\nShoshanna Godber is a Canadian harpist\, singer\, pianist and banjo player. She began her musical education with classical violin\, piano and voice but was always drawn to her mother’s Celtic music records. She started playing the harp while completing her Bachelor of Music at the University of British Columbia\, and it very quickly eclipsed all of her other musical interests. Her repertoire has expanded from Celtic to traditional folk from all over the world\, classical and contemporary compositions. She is a diverse performer and enjoys giving concerts of traditional and contemporary music with her guitarist (and husband) Dave Godber. She also performs regularly with Alban Classical and with her colleagues for the Prince George Conservatory of Music’s chamber concert series. Shoshanna has recorded three albums of children’s folk music and has contributed to other artist’s projects as a session musician. Her catalogue of sheet music on Harp Column and her website is steadily increasing with her arrangements for harp and voice\, harp ensemble and solo harp. Since 2012 Shoshanna has taught harp and directed a harp ensemble at the Conservatory and loves empowering her students to achieve their harp dreams. Shoshanna loved being the Novice Harp instructor at the IMA Harp School last year and is looking forward to connecting with harpists in person this summer.\nhttps://www.shoshannagodber.com\nhttps://www.youtube.com/c/ShoshannaGodber\n\nLOCATION\nThe Sunset Theatre\, Wells\, BC AND Online\n\nTICKETS\nThis event is a part of the Island Mountain Arts Harp + Cello School and is pay what you can.
