Harpist Catrin Finch plays her new album of solo compositions, 'Notes To Self', a series of personal pieces written for her 13-year-old self.
Catrin Finch brings her new album, Notes to Self, to Taliesin Arts Centre on Wednesday 11 November, with the concert starting at 7.30pm. It's a solo harp performance, and the running time is listed at 120 minutes.
Notes to Self is a series of reflective, personal tracks Finch wrote for Katy, her thirteen-year-old self, and it marks her first album of solo compositions in a decade. The concert weaves those pieces together with letters that trace her personal journey, and the music draws on a forty-year career as one of her generation's most adventurous and pioneering artists. She describes the work as an exploration of vulnerability, expectation, transformation, and the unpredictability of a life lived in the public eye.
Much of the material comes from her own history. She speaks about her experiences as a gay woman, a cancer survivor, and as a sister, daughter and mother, and translates those struggles and triumphs into sound. The album itself is available on CD and as a limited run of 180g baby blue vinyl, so if you're into the record, you can take it home.
