In A Christmas Rose, Patrick Ball will tell the traditional tales from A Child's Christmas in Wales; chapters from The Wind in the Willows; and passages from Shakespeare, William Butler Yeats, and Thomas Hardy, mingling them with beloved pieces of seasonal music on his Celtic harp. All the stories and all of the music touch on what is, to his way of thinking, the central message of the Chrismas/Winter season: hope. Hope for something wonderous. Hope for a light in the darkness.
Patrick Ball is "a rare artist." For in playing the ancient, legendary brass-strung harp of Ireland with its crystalline, bell-like voice and performing marvelous tales of wit and enchantment, he not only brings new life to two cherished traditions, but blends them in concert to create "a richly theatrical and hauntingly beautiful performance."
He now tours extensively throughout the United States and Canada, is considered one of the premier Celtic harpers and spoken word artists in the world today, and has recorded nine instrumental and three spoken word albums which have sold well over one-half million copies collectively and earned national awards in both the music and spoken word categories.
