Belfast's Rebel Harp

A Work-in-Progress Presentation by Belfast Harpist & Composer Ursula Burns. Ireland's emblem, the harp, was never just an instrument — it was a weapon of truth and a voice of rebellion. Ancient bards and harpers were feared by conquerors: their music banned, their traditions suppressed, their very existence seen as a threat to power. In Belfast Rebel Harp, Ursula Burns uncovers what was lost in harping history and reveals its surprising links to the world today. Join us for this second presentation of her evolving work through the oral tradition elements of Ireland's iconic harp — delivered with the bold spirit you've come to expect from The Dangerous Harpist.
