Volcano Art Center Welcomes Anela Strings for Holiday Harp Concert

Never known for shying away from the unconventional, Volcano Art Center welcomes the unique sounds of Anela Strings for an extraordinary holiday concert on Saturday, December 1, 2012.

Expect the unexpected with this profound alchemy of vibration that has been said to lift, inspire, and most of all, remind us of the shining light of our true natures.

This holiday performance features the multi-talented harpist duo Kristin Aria Shaw and Irminsul creating a harmonious marriage of the harp’s ancient and stirring sound with heart thumping percussion and expansive electronic vistas. Their unique musical approach creates a tether from the here and now to the Everywhere.

Recently reviewed by Marya Mann in the November/December edition of Ke Ola Magazine, “Anela music is… all-encompassing as it is to reconnect with the field of human and planetary ecology, it’s more significantly a view of ourselves as whole, a Holy thing, and you don’t even have to believe it. Just listen to the music.”

“Anela Strings, Music of a Higher Place” will be held Saturday, December 1 starting at 7:00pm at VAC’s Niaulani Campus located at 19-4074 Old Volcano Road in Volcano Village. Doors open at 6:30pm. Cost is $16 or $14 for VAC members.

Tickets may be purchased in person or over the phone at (808) 967-8222. For more information, visit www.volcanoartcenter.org or www.anelamusic.com.
