The Multi-Cultural Music Fellowship (MCMF) celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the FESTIVAL OF HARPS with an unprecedented event featuring 35 acts and over 75 performers, gathered for one evening in a unique setting. The magnificent Chapel of the Chimes columbarium, designed by Julia Morgan in 1928, contains over 100
rooms decorated in a style evocative of gothic cathedrals. This one-of-a-kind "walk through" concert will allow listeners to experience the widest range of harps and harp styles ever gathered for one public event. By
wandering from room to room, they will be able to hear some of the world’s best harpists playing music from Africa, Asian, Scandinavia, Latin America, the Mediterranean and the British Isles, along with classical, jazz, medieval and renaissance styles. Storytelling, song, dance, and original
compositions will be featured by many of the artists, and special programs for children are included.
Begun in San Francisco in 1989, the FESTIVAL OF HARPS (FOH) has grown from a grass roots concert of multi-cultural harp music to a much-anticipated event. Showcasing harp music at its finest, the Multi-Cultural Music Fellowship (MCMF), directed by Bay Area harpist Diana Stork, has brought artists from all over the world to share one stage, fostering collaborations and world premieres between some of the best in world, classical and contemporary music styles
Sponsored by the Multi-Cultural Music Fellowship, a 501 C3 non-profit organization, dedicated to bringing the world together through music.
