Creative Music Workshop Day

FNQ Harp Connection proudly presents two of our local sparkling harpists, Loni Fitzpatrick and Natalia Mann for a day filled with creativity and imagination.

This workshop has been postponed until early 2025.

We appreciate that sometimes it’s hard to get around in FNQ, so Loni and Natalia will make video versions of their workshops and post them online instead.

These fun and inspiring workshops are all about creativity on the harp!!

CRAZY SOUNDS ON THE HARP with Loni Fitzpatrick

Have you ever wondered what cool and quirky sounds the harp can make? Have you ever seen a harp fed through a live loop pedal? Prefer pop music and getting creative? If these pique your interest then you’ll love Loni’s introduction to extended techniques and presentation of live looping on a harp!

All types of musicians can learn from Loni. She uses the loop pedal to make everything from pop to dance tracks to to jazz to Ludovico Einaudi covers. Loni will give a special kids only workshop, followed by one for all ages.

RESONANCE MUSIC with Natalia Mann

Natalia Mann is known as the harpist who plays music with the trees. She has developed a musical practice called ‘Resonance’ where a person can tune into the frequencies of a colour, plant, object, or even a person, and translate those vibrations into music.

Resonance is an experimental way of discovering music by colour and feel. It is particularly useful for therapeutic music, and a powerful mode for improvisation and composition. All ages can use this gentle musical approach to discover more about the world we live in.

Proudly supported by FNQ Harp Connection & Cairns State High School.
