About the performers:
Carol Kappus plays and sings traditional songs, songs of Robert Burns, and songs in Scots Gaelic. She teaches and performs in the Midwest and Scotland. She has studied Scots Gaelic at the Atlantic Gaelic Academy and Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. She has won several Scottish Harp Society of America and Scottish Mòd competitions and does her own arrangements of the songs she performs. She has published many books of her compositions and arrangements and her articles and arrangements appear frequently in Folk Harp Journal.
Roberto Warren is a retired Professional Ballet Dancer, musician specializing in Harp and Percussion, and Multimedia Artist. He started dance when he was 11 in 1962, and became a professional in 1970, performing with and studying with some of the country’s major dance companies.
As a percussionist, Roberto has performed in all musical genres, including Jazz, Latin, Pop, and African, with credits including the Detroit Jazz Festival. But the harp is Roberto’s true passion. “We were made for each other. The moment I sat down and played the first time, I knew it. As a Creative Artist, I pretty much believe you can do anything you want creatively, there are no limits…” he says, which is evidenced by his highly experimental musical output.
