“Marcie Swift, Therapeutic Harp Music,” Annual Winter Music Series at Canton Public Library

            On Sunday, February 26, the Annual Winter Music Series at Canton Public Library continues with a concert by Marcie Swift, who will enchant us and relax us with her Celtic harps.  The concert begins at 2:00 PM.

            The program features a wide range of beautiful music on the harp as well as Swift’s improvisations, storytelling, and the history of the mystical instrument.  She will be bringing several of her Celtic harps, including her Reverie harp, which each member of the audience may play to experience “the wonderful healing vibrations.”

            Marcie Swift is a proponent of the healing power of harps.  She is a certified music practitioner, psychologist, and researcher who uses the ancient instrument in her therapeutic work.  “The timeless magic, power, and allure of the harp” are an integral part of her approach to helping clients deal with pain, stress, depression, and illness.  Swift is the Director of The Swift Center for Learning.  She provides therapeutic harp music for chemo patients, runs support groups for cancer patients, and uses harp therapy and relaxation therapy at several hospitals.

            The program is free; registration is requested.  Canton Public Library is at 40 Dyer Avenue, Canton.  For information:  (860) 693-5800 or www.cantonpubliclibrary.org
