Concert at London Canal Museum

A CONCERT by the renowned harpist Catrin Finch is to be given at the London Waterway Museum to raise funds for WaterAid.

The recital, that will take place on the evening of 16th May is one of many special events at the museum this summer including tunnel boat trips, theatre, children's activities and an opportunity to go underground into a Victorian ice well, Alan Tilbury tells us.

Highly acclaimed

This is part of the Culture 24 Museums at Night, the UK's biannual after-hours festival of arts, culture and heritage. Catrin is one of the most highly acclaimed harpists working in the world today, and was official harpist to the Prince of Wales between 2000 and 2004.

Her music programme will comprise solo harp repertoire and extracts from Catrin's latest album Tides, which features artwork by artist Simon Tarrant. As a backdrop to the recital Simon Tarrant will exhibit a series of his latest paintings, including an original artwork that will be auctioned for the benefit of WaterAid.
