Village Concert Series: Rachel O’Brien

Rachel O’Brien, harpist within the Astralis Chamber Ensemble, will be performing a solo harp concert as our Village Concert Series this March. This concert will focus on a leading composer of harp repertoire, Marcel Grandjany. It will explore his fascination with the great Baroque composer, George Frideric Handel, bringing the rhapsodic works of Grandjany together with Handel masterpieces. Join us in the Sanctuary on Friday, March 10 at 7 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public.
