Sharlene Wallace is one of Canada’s most prolific and influential harpists and composers. Playing both pedal/Classical and lever/Celtic harps has led Sharlene to copiously diverse musical influences and opportunities. sharlenewallace.com

Winner of the Lyon & Healy International Pop & Jazz Lever Harp Competition (USA) and the Dinan Concours d’Improvisation de Rencontres International de Harp Celtique (Brittany), she has given concerts and workshops across Canada, the United States, France and Italy. Sharlene tours with bass player George Koller, the Winter’s Eve Trio (with George Koller, bass and Joseph Macerollo, accordion), The Soaring Harp Trio (with harpists Lori Gemmell and Julia Seager-Scott) and the Christmas trio Harp & Holly (with Sandra Swannell, vocals, fiddle and viola and Terry Young, vocals and finger-style guitar, Rob Ritchie, piano, vocals). She is also a member of Iona Passage with Anne Lindsay (fiddle) and Eric Robertson (piano).

Sharlene’s seven CDs express journeys of rhythm, spaciousness, the Canadian landscape, Celtic, Classical, South American and original music. Sharlene’s most recent CD, In Night’s Deep Silence, is a spacious, tranquil album for harp and bass (George Koller).

We are delighted to have Sharlene return to the Okanagan for an unforgettable evening performance! She will be joined by the Spellbound Harp Trio, Caroline Mackay, Aaron Ord and Amy Aiken.
