Thomas Loefke & Ellen Czaya Celtic music is full of stories. Musicians once carried it from place to place, coast to coast, and castle to castle.

The Celtic harp has an almost thousand-year-old tradition in Ireland and Scotland; the Celts once brought it to Europe and developed it into a universally applicable instrument with its own repertoire. The duo's program spans an arc from the Celtic Middle Ages to the lively dances of Irish folk music and their own compositions, which often have their origins in Ireland: virtuoso music with many different faces, moods and timbres, full of emotion and energy, full of tension and at the same time infused with harmony, each piece a little treasure in itself.
