'Season'-al Sounds Come to Hillsborough LIbrary

The sounds of the season come to the Thursday, when musical group Seasons performs at 7 p.m.

Seasons is comprised of Mary-Kate Spring, Peter Winter, Mary-Teresa Summer, Mary-Grace Autumn, and Mary-Clare Chun Lee.  With a sound based mainly around the Celtic Harp and the Hammered Dulcimer, but also bringing in instruments as diverse as the violin, mandolin, bodrhan, penny whistle, guitar and piano, Seasons creates an exciting and surprising fusion of Celtic, folk, original, and popular music, resulting in a sound that is truly unique.  Their varied musical tastes and interests often lead them where no harp and hammered dulcimer quartet has gone before.

Seasons has recorded two CDs, "Eventide Lullaby" (2006) and "Which Way to Dublin Town" (2009), and also collaborated with Mary-Kate on her solo album "Mirabilis" (2010).  The albums have received national recognition in publications such as Musicmaker's Magazine, Christianity Today, and Grapevine Online, and also have been played on the radio. Seasons has performed both on local and national television, including ABC 27's Out and About with Chuck Rhodes and EWTN's show Life on the Rock and Dana and Friends, and, most recently, an appearence on CBS's The Early Show on Dec. 1st.

Seasons has played numerous venues in the midstate, including the Harrisburg Artsfest, The 2nd Floor Gallery, Appalachian Brewing Company, Market Street Presbyterian and the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, and also has shared their music in multiple states and countries.  Seasons has had the opportunity to open for many talented musicians, including three-time Grammy winner Ashley Cleveland and the nationally-acclaimed Celtic rock band Scythian.
