Sunita Staneslow in concert

Saint Patrick's Solas Leighis concert series is pleased to present internationally recognized harpist Sunita Staneslow on Sunday, October 26th at 7:00 pm.  Sunita has played in concert halls and pubs from New Zealand to Tel Aviv. A graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, she is classically trained although her passion is traditional music. She specializes in both Jewish and Celtic music and has become widely known for her creative and accessible arrangements for the harp. Sunita now lives with her husband and two children in a small town near Tel Aviv in Israel, and teaches and performs throughout the country. Her performances include a collection of Jewish melodies from around the Mediterranean and Celtic music from the British Isles, woven together with stories of her travels and adventures. Sunita was named one of the top ten Jewish instrumentalists by Moment Magazine and she was a recipient of a 1998 McKnight Foundation Fellowship in recognition of her work with Jewish music.  Enjoy an intimate concert that spans the spectrum of human emotions from soulful Jewish melodies to lively Scottish reels to music composed by contemporary harpists.  A wine and cheese reception is included during intermission. All proceeds benefit community outreach.  For more details, visit www.saint-patricks.org or call (704) 663-5659.
