Tree Myths and Songs


[Storytelling & Harp ] [Theatre ] [Upcoming Events ]

On the Hillside...

Throughout the two hour concert stroll, audience members gather for tales in Maple, Cherry, Ash and Hemlock groves. Stories from Japan, Czechoslovakia, Britain, Australia and North America are surrounded with songs and music from those lands giving delightful melodic context.


"When I walk into an old grove, I am quieted by the presence of trees. The deep silence they create speaks of patience, endurance and of the sacred mystery of life. Legends from around the world echo the universal regard in which trees are held. But the stories lead us even further. They tell of how intimately humans and trees are linked. In story, trees are our teachers, ancestors, guardians, and messengers of our fate."
