If you are looking for tasteful, engaging but non-intrusive instrumental background music, charm your clients and guests with the elegant classical sounds of the concert harp, or with the lively and wistful music of the Celtic harp. The harp is one of the most ancient and beautiful instruments in the world, and nearly every culture at one time possessed its own unique form of harp music.  The Vancouver music scene is as multi-cultural and diverse as the harp itself, and no matter what the occasion, the harp playing of Alys Howe will create the perfect atmosphere of instrumental background music for your special event or corporate function.

Since 1985, Alys Howe has been performing to wide acclaim across Canada, in Scotland, Ireland, and England, on both the Celtic harp and the pedal or concert harp. With recognition from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, CBC, Pioneer Black Creek Village, the Candian College of Armed Forces, Sabhal Mor Ostaig in the Isle of Skye, and Vancouver Television, Alys Howe brings her experience and professionalism to the musical ambiance of your occasion.  Growing up in B..C., Alys has absorbed the cultural richness of Vancouver musical traditions, and delights in reflecting them back to the people of her native city.

With an MA (First Class Honours) in Performance of Traditional Irish Music and a BFA Hons. in Performance (on both the Celtic harp and the concert harp), Alys Howe's unique voice as a Canadian performer contributes an entrancing touch to the instrumental background musical setting she provides.  Treat your clients and guests to a unique soundscape to match the spectacular landscape of Vancouver: Music by Alys Howe captures the essence of one of the most beautiful places in Canada.
