The Winter Solstice in Legend and Song
Celebrate the season with Legend and Song
Celebrate the season with storyteller Diane Edgecomb and musicians Margot Chamberlain and Tom Megan. This program is a theatrical performance with original and traditional music on Celtic harp, synthesizer, accordion and voice.
One of New England's favorite tellers, Diane has been featured on National Public Radio as well as at theaters, museums, and nature centers throughout the Northeast. A versatile performer whose tellings are filled with rich characterizations, Edgecomb has been hailed by Publisher’s Weekly as "a storyteller in the grand tradition, virtuoso of the spoken word."
Margot Chamberlain has sung and played medieval bowed strings, recorders, and the medieval harp with the early music groups Quadrivium and Live Oak and has been a regular performer with the Spring and Winter Revels. For the past fifteen years she has devoted herself to the Celtic harp.
Composer, playwright, and musician Tom Megan is a multi-instrumentalist who plays piano, synthesizer, accordion, guitar, and penny whistle. He has written several full-length musicals and has received numerous writing awards for the musical stage, including the Yip Harburg Award. He performs regularly with the Billy Walsh Band.
