 <\/p>\n

We’re often asked about the effects of temperature and humidity on harps. You can find the answers, and many more, in Elizabeth Jaxon’s fab\u00a0Camac video guide<\/a>\u00a0(above).\u00a0But you don’t need a video guide to tell you that Antarctica is not what most instrument makers envisage, and in\u00a02011, the\u00a0blue harp<\/a>\u00a0was put through its paces as part of Alice Giles’s\u00a0amazing Antarctica expedition<\/a>. We had no idea how it would do, so we were\u00a0pleased to hear<\/a>\u00a0it went “not a bit sharp and was seemingly unconcerned” by the sub-zero temperatures.<\/p>\n

Alice Giles is the granddaughter of Arctic meteorologist\u00a0Cecil Thomas\u00a0Madigan, and was awarded an Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship to create a multimedia\u00a0performance commemorating the First Australasian\u00a0Antarctic Expedition (1911-1914). We helped\u00a0finance the shipping of harps and equipment to and from Hobart, and also contributed towards the cost of a new work from Australian composer\u00a0Martin Wesley-Smith<\/a>. You can read all about Alice in Antarctica here<\/a>, including information about how to book a concert or a lecture-recital about the project.<\/p>\n
