Music That Moves Between Worlds: Tales from the Harp
"Raised on Celtic bardic tales in Ireland and myths of Persephone, Aphrodite and Apollo on Cyprus, I have been led by the harp between worlds. Our journey resonates with the harp's ancient voice, exploring the tension between myth and reason, the conscious and unseen. Echoes from all who have come before us and through us live again through music as our teachers and guides."
Harpist Diana Rowan’s playing has been described as having "unusual power and beauty." Born in Ireland, she lived and studied on the East Coast, in Europe and the Middle East before settling in Berkeley, California, where she received her Master of Music degree. Each country has left a strong impression on Diana's music, which interweaves Celtic, Eastern European, Near Eastern and classical arts and mythology. Performing worldwide (from the Australian Harp Festival to the Smithsonian to medieval Cypriot halls), teaching and recording frequently, Diana can be heard on many CDs and soundtracks for film and TV, including her two solo albums Panta Rhei and The Bright Knowledge. She currently splits her time between the San Francisco Bay Area and Eastern Europe, working on a doctorate in harp composition at the National Academy of Music in Sofia, Bulgaria. www.dianarowan.com "I was born to tough Belfast folk who for many generations have placed the arts as a high calling. My parents were attending Trinity College in Dublin when I appeared, so I grew up around questioning minds, literature, lots of singing and storytelling. Just a few years later we would start to travel the world with my father's job, opening my eyes to both the similarities and differences in how people approached life. My music is a direct result of this - searching for core truths as to what it means to be human, while exploring the variations therein. Although I grew up hearing many different languages, music was the one that cut through everything and was understandable whether I was in sedate Brussels or ancient Baghdad. Myth is the other path I travel in my search, where huge libraries of knowledge are distilled and voices from the past speak to us once more. These voices can echo similar themes, even from wildly divergent locations, much like music. Poetry in particular is a huge source of inspiration for me - the intersection of words and music. Essentially, I'm trying to look for what's real through the unseen but very present - music and myth."
"Which is first - breadth of repertoire or musicianship? No matter. The sum total will titillate even the most jaded audience. Diana is an astounding harpist - playing pieces that range from inspired traditional-based tunes to improvisational skin-prickling scats. Consider it a blessed time, to have this music seep into your being." Anne Emerick, Wisteria Ways concert series, Oakland CA
