Calgary harpist Gianetta Baril has devoted her life to sharing the transformative power of music, performing in an array of spectacular locales across the world like the Rudolphinum in Prague and on the Selaron Steps in Rio de Janeiro. When COVID stopped all live performances in 2020, she turned a huge van into a self-contained rolling home/concert hall and took the comfort of live harp music on the road in Alberta and BC - stopping wherever people were in need of hope and inspiration. After 6,000 km and 33 concerts, Gianetta returned to Calgary at the end of October.
“Over the winter months, I have both missed the audiences and the joy of sharing music,” says Gianetta. “But I used that time to plan my next journey across Canada and built a new vehicle better suited to the long journey. My scheduled departure date is April 20th, and to kick off the next journey, I am presenting a tour launch concert on Sunday, April 25th where I will be sharing some pre-recorded music. I hope the music will bring comfort and courage to the audience, and I will also share a few stories of my journey, and the big reveal of my new van!”
Harp To Heart Cross Country Tour Launch Concert will be live streamed online at 3:00 PM on Sunday, 25 April 2021. This event falls under the category of activities permitted by Alberta Health Services and the Alberta Government.
