History of the Clarsach in Scotland

Cynthia’s heritage is Scottish — her grandfather was an Ogilvie and very proud of it! In this lecture presentation, Cynthia relates some of the history of the land of her ancestors as it relates to the harp. She tells stories, relates anecdotes, and performs select pieces on her wire strung harps.

Designed as a presentation for such events as Scottish dinners and Burns’ nights in the United States, Cynthia can craft the presentation to appeal to any audience, from an elementary classroom to a formal educational meeting of clan elders!

I had no idea the harp was so important to Scotland's history. Every year I host a Christmas party, and every year I have a piper who blows us out of the house. This year, I'm hiring a harper!
