À propos

WE ARE ALL STORYTELLERS!

Join me for the first Culture Days Harp & Story Exchange. Send a short original story, anytime after August 25th, using the "Vinyl Cafe" rules quoted below to [email protected]. Every week between September 25-October 25, on my website, I’ll share one of my favourite story submissions with a response on harp.

"It has to be a true story, and it has to be a short story. After that, it can be anything at all. After that, it’s up to you."

The response might be an original composition, or it might be a classic piece of harp repertoire. Either way, it will be chosen just for you! For all the details about this project, including references to Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan, and Canadian radio legend Stuart McLean, click over to the blog post on my website, linked below.

Pearl Schachter

Pearl is a Canadian harpist, based out of Erin, ON. She started piano lessons at the age of four and went on to study harp a few years later after a couple of weeks of introductory lessons at the Gaelic College of Celtic Arts & Crafts in Cape Breton. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Performance Harp from the University of Toronto, a Bachelor of Education (Artist in Community Education, Primary/Junior) from Queen’s University, a Master of Philosophy in Education (Arts, Creativity, Education, and Culture) from the University of Cambridge, and an ARCT in piano performance from the Royal Conservatory of Music. Pearl currently lives in the beautiful Headwaters Region, where she keeps busy playing chamber & solo harp music and working on arts administration projects. As an arts admin, she has worked in all corners of the country for creative organizations and arts centres, including the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and the Klondike Institute for Arts and Culture. Her interests include arts education programming, advocacy, and public art projects.
