Celtic Harp and Flute
The ancient combination of wind and strings comes alive with Janet and David's duo of flute and harp, playing an eclectic blend of Traditional, Renaissance, Medieval and Classical music. Available for weddings, festivals and private events.
Janet and David Parish-Whittaker have been performing together since 1987 with such groups as The Goliards, Jubilatores and the newly formed San Diego Renaissance Ensemble. They have been married since 1988, which is where these things end up if one isn't careful.
Janet holds a Master's in Music Performance (flute) from UCSD where she studied flute with John Fonville and improvisation with George Lewis. She performs on wooden renaissance and folk flutes as well as the modern silver flute. David performs on a replica of a 15th century Scottish harp, which is strung with brass as all Irish and Scottish harps were until the 19th century. He has studied Gaelic ornamentation and technique with Ann Heymann and medieval Welsh technique with William Taylor.
