About this Event
Internationally renowned soloists Lily Neill, harp, and Clive Carroll, acoustic guitar, have teamed up to create an eclectic program, with a rapport and spontaneity that takes listeners on an exhilarating journey! Mining an array of styles and traditions, all the way from 16th century European court music through to Irish and Nordic melodies, their repertoire of original music, fiery dances, and bluesy airs proves genre-bending, thrilling listening.
Between them, harpist Lily Neill and guitarist Clive Carroll have performed around the world, from North America to the Far East and everywhere in between. Primarily known as soloists, their musical union extends from their love of music composition and a vast array of musical styles—from eat-your-heart-out blues, to fiery dances from Eastern Europe, time-bending tunes from the Balkans, beguiling Irish airs, jaunty Ragtime numbers, and Elizabethan lute classics. To their duo they bring all the intensity of their solo performances and more, conjuring a genre-bending orchestra.
American-born Lily Neill began performing as a child, amassing an impressive number of awards, and recognition from everyone from U.S. President Bill Clinton to legendary Irish band, “The Chieftains”. Irish Music Magazine crowned her, “...part of the new Harp revolution”, and she has captivated audiences around the world with the dynamism and breadth of her performances.
English guitar phenomenon Clive Carroll—“arguably the most accomplished fingerstylist in the world today” (Total Guitar Magazine)—is known for his unique tone, versatility, and unmistakeable voice as a composer. He has toured and collaborated with guitar greats such as John Williams, Tommy Emmanuel, Xuefei Yang, Ralph Towner, the late John Renbourn, and more.
Neill and Carroll take listeners across an array of musical landscapes in a breathtaking display of musicianship that draws you in with warmth, drama, and originality.
