Brendan is a protegé of the late great revivalist of the Celtic harp, Chris Caswell. Brendan teaches and performs traditional Celtic, Nordic and American old-time music on the harp, piano, fiddle and five-string banjo, but perhaps is best known for questioning and stretching the boundaries of the Celtic harp. While his playing can certainly evoke the mystical qualities many associate with the genre, it also seamlessly incorporates jigs, reels, strathspeys, and other toe-tapping dance tunes, more typical of the fiddlers’ world. Brendan grew up in a musical family right here at The Bishop’s Ranch and we know you’ll leave this concert nurtured and inspired.

Our harpsichordist Kathleen McIntosh, who was scheduled for this event, is unable to be with us at Thursday’s event. Her husband is ill and she needs to be with him. Our prayers are that he will heal and that at some future date she will be able to offer her concert.
