An Afternoon with William Jackson
Harp Workshop & Concert
at the Calvary United Methodist Church in Latham
In partnership with The Northeastern Mountain Chapter
of the American Harp Society
A Celtic harp player of international renown, William Jackson has been a moving force and a major influence, not only on the popularization of the Celtic harp, but on Scottish traditional music. A founding member of the group Ossian (1976-1989), he has also had a distinguished solo career as a performer and a composer. We are fortunate to offer an opportunity to learn from and enjoy the artistry of William Jackson as he presents a workshop followed by a concert in Latham.
Schedule:
- 2:00–3:30 pm—Workshop: “Accompanying Other Instruments”
- 4:30 pm—Concert
Join us! Explore the possibilities of the Celtic harp as it applies to ensemble and session playing with other-folk oriented instruments, then sit back and appreciate William Jackson’s mastery on the instrument and the depth of his connection to the music of the British Isles.
Cost:
- Workshop only—$40
- Concert only—$20
- Bundled cost for both events—$50

Jim Malcolm
As both singer and songwriter, Jim Malcolm is one of the most distinctive voices in Scottish music. He has a huge repertoire of songs from the Scottish tradition and is a noted interpreter of Burns. These old songs are complemented by his own original and award-winning songs, which are at once completely modern and accessible, yet an authentic addition to the cannon of Scottish music. Jim plays expressive guitar in mainly DADGAD tuning, and simultaneously plays tunes on harmonicas to a standard you’ll seldom hear elsewhere. What’s more, Jim’s between-song wit has developed to an art form all of its own.
