Celtic Harp Orchestra is, after ten years of activity and more than 1500 concerts held on four continents, the most active Celtic harp orchestra in the world.
Seven official CDs and countless appearances on ethnic and ambient music compilations have seen the style of the Orchestra, which has always been led by Fabius Constable, ranging from Celtic music to Venetian Baroque, from jazz to minimalism, from progressive rock to ancient music.
Celtic Harp Orchestra has collaborated with important artists such as, just to name a few, Andrea Bocelli, Arnoldo Foà, Myrdhin, Tadao Ando.
Thanks to our initiatives, linked to both charity and environmental commitment, we have received in addition to commendations from the Japanese First Lady and the royal couple of England, William and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge, also Cavallierato medals from the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella and the former President of the Italian Republic Giorgio Napolitano.
