Winter Harp is coming to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Dec. 10, 2024.

The magic of the holiday season is set to return to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre when Winter Harp hits the stage.

This concert offers a journey back in time, weaving together the warmth of medieval instruments, glorious costumes, and the ethereal beauty of harp music on Dec. 10.

“Winter Harp concerts both evoke and create beautiful memories. We remember the Christmas trees we decorated, the joy of spending time with loved ones, the anticipation of Christmas morning. At Winter Harp the carols we perform and the stories and poems we read take people into their memories. They leave the concert with beautiful new ones,” said Winter Harp co-founder and musical director, Lori Pappajohn. “We’re looking forward to seeing old friends and new at the concerts.”

The ensemble, renowned for their artistry and skill, will perform a repertoire of traditional carols and festive pieces that capture the essence of winter's beauty.

Listeners will be transported through time by the sounds of harps, drums, temple bells, flutes, bass flute, viola, and an assortment of rare instruments, from the bass psaltery, organistrum, hurdy-gurdy, and nyckelharpa.

Winter Harp is coming to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $49, with Patron Program discounts available, and can be purchased at the Centre Box Office, online at chilliwackculturalcentre.ca, or by calling 604-391-SHOW(7469).
