Recently described as being “one of Scotland’s most unique talents”, Phamie Gow’s diverse range of musical talents (multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, producer, Musical Director) and her collaborations with other world-class artists has brought a strong new breadth of undeniable talent to the world. We are excited to have Phamie teach the Advanced class and lead an afternoon session on arranging and composing with Sharlene Wallace.

Sharlene Wallace tours internationally giving concerts, workshops and masterclasses. Winner of two international lever harp competitions, she has created seven independent CDs that feature many of her own compositions and she has just released her latest album, In Night’s Deep Silence. A perennial favourite at the Harp School, Sharlene will be working with the Intermediate level students in the morning and joining forces with Phamie for a fun afternoon session for all levels.

Back by popular demand, Seattle's Seumas Gagné has been playing the music of the Scottish and Irish Gaels on the Celtic harp for more than thirty years. After finishing his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Music at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, his attention returned to his first love, the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland. Seumas will again lead a Intermediate level morning session and and afternoon session on Gaelic songs.
