Bio
Since 1997, the members of Triskela Harp Trio -- Diana Stork, Portia Diwa & Shawna Spiteri -- have performed uplifting concerts all over the Bay Area at such venues as St. Mary’s and Grace Cathedrals in San Francisco, the Festival of Harps at the Spreckels Center in Rohnert Park, Pacifica Performances and even in the rotunda at SF City Hall. In 2008, their recording of Diana's lively composition “Wedding Bells” (from Triskela’s debut CD Voice of Tara) was featured in the documentary “Reclaiming the Blade”, narrated by British actor John Rhys-Davies.
All three members of Triskela play multiple instruments and teach privately as well as offering workshops on harp technique, arranging and the history of the harp. Influenced by artists like Loreena McKennitt, Kim Robertson, Ali Akbar Khan and Joni Mitchell,Triskela is creating new horizons for this magical, ancient instrument.
