Renowned Celtic harpist/storyteller Patrick Ball returns to Hawaii with his latest combination of Celtic stories and sounds from his Maplewood harp. The crystalline, bell-like resonance of the legendary harp is guaranteed to take the listener into the deepest realms of the imagination. Patrick tours extensively throughout the United States & Canada. He has recorded about a dozen albums which have earned national awards in both the music and spoken word categories. This 45-minute program is suitable for ages 5 and older. Young children must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.
