Daniela Lorenz - Latin American and Christmas harp music during Advent

Röm.-kath. Kirche Bruder Klaus, Feldhofstrasse 25, 8604 Volketswil
Admission free, collection
On the 2nd Advent, Daniela Lorenz enchants with Latin American rhythms and Christmas sounds on the Paraguay harp in a poetic, lively way and with insights into a rich musical tradition.
On the 2nd Sunday in Advent, Daniela Lorenz invites you to a special musical hour. On her Paraguayan harp, she interweaves lively rhythms from Latin America with atmospheric Christmas melodies - a multi-faceted arc of sound between warmth, lightness and contemplation.

The Swiss harpist will guide you through the program with charm and empathy, providing fascinating insights into the cultural and historical background of the works.

Her instrument - the Paraguayan harp - is made of light wood, strung with 37 nylon strings and is plucked with the fingernails. This special style of playing gives the harp its unmistakably clear, lively sound.

The tradition of harp music in Latin America dates back to the 16th century, when European missionaries brought the first baroque harps with them. Today, it is impossible to imagine the musical identity of many countries without it.

Many thanks to the parish of the Bruder Klaus Catholic Church in Volketswil, which makes these Advent concerts possible with great openness and generosity.
