        Artists: Nikau Harp Trio (New Zealand) and Amanda Whiting (Wales)
        Location: Camac Chapel

        Nikau Harp Trio
        Nikau is a trio of outstanding musicians - Helen Webby (harp), Cathy Irons (violin)
        and Paul Mitchell (cello) - all with extensive New Zealand and international experience, who are on a national tour with Arts On Tour NZ. Join Nikau on their diverse journey through extra-ordinary places from classical music to the pulsating rhythms of tango, film composer Mark Smythe's romantic new premier, and the hypnotic haze of Irons' Dreamland. Nikau is named after the magnificent, carved Nikau palm on Helen's harp, made by her brother Kim Webby.

        Amanda Whiting
        From Wales, the home of the harp, Amanda has taken her classical roots and forged them in the path of jazz harpists Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane. Amanda is a pioneer in jazz harp the UK and regularly performs at international jazz festivals and venues across the world. Amanda, with bassist Richard Hooper, will be performing tracks from her two self-penned albums, the sold out album After Dark (2021) and Lost in Abstraction (2022) both on Jazzman Records.

        Artists: Ensemble Sangineto (Italy) and Katryna Tan (Singapore)
        Location: Camac Chapel

        Ensemble Sangineto
        The wide-ranging musical experiences of the three members of Ensemble Sangineto converge to create fresh arrangements of traditional Irish, Scottish, Breton and Italian tunes. Their original compositions display influences from varied musical genres, ranging from classical to folk, from Gregorian chant to musical, from pop to Celtic music. The delicate combination of the pure and magic tones of the harp and the bowed psaltery and guitar, intermingled with voice evoke dreamlike and airy atmospheres, which are simultaneously joyful and light.
