Acacia Lyra is an Ottawa based harp and voice duo

Hello! Bonjour! Hola! Dia duit!

We were children of the 60's with hair flowing in the wind, and guitars over our shoulders, until the Celtic harp cast its spell first upon one and then the other. Time and Serendipidy eventually merged this duo which has been kept busy for the past few years singing, accompanying, arranging, composing, performing and recording music from many corners of the world.

The warmer days are here at last. Our woolly sweaters are now folded away, and we have replaced hot apple cider with iced lemon tea, as we rehearse in shady outdoor spots. Our harps love to be played outside, as gentle breezes carry their chords through the trees and up into the sky. In addition to the upcoming appearances listed, there is a flurry of creative activity in the air - new songs being written, recording sessions being booked and concerts being planned. All will be revealed!

The listings on our Appearances page are public performances. If you are interested in booking our duo for your private event, do send an e-mail to susan@acacialyra.com.
