Murder Ballads and Musical Misery at the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts

The Museum of Early Trades & Crafts invites visitors to enjoy an evening of spooky yet enchanting music on Friday, October 30th at 7:30 PM with harpist Odarka Stockert.

Harpist Odarka Stockert with trio Slight Imperfection will perform 16th century to modern murder ballads and other creepy tunes to the delight of their audience.

Odarka Polanskyj Stockert is an accomplished harpist with a repertoire spanning the centuries — from Classical to Broadway to Folk. Based in Millburn, New Jersey, she performs on both the concert pedal harp and the folk harp.

Odarka was a long time student of celebrated concert harpist, the late Leone Paulson, of South Orange, New Jersey, with whom she performed as a member of the Paulson Harp Ensemble. She spent several summers in Dublin, Ireland, in workshop studies and participating in the O’Carolan Irish Harp and Granard Harp Competitions, winning awards and honors in both.

She is also a collaborator of the Yara Arts Group based at the La Mama, ETC in New York and has performed in many Yara events and productions. Additionally, she is a founding member of Glendalough’s Muse, a celtic flute and harp duo and Suenos del Alma, a latin inspired harp and violin duo.
