A Benefit Concert for Claudia Tulip
The William Eaton Ensemble presents WEE Rock As One: A Benefit Concert for Claudia Tulip. This concert features their signature world chamber fusion sound, created by silver flutes, world percussion, and one-of-a-kind exotic instruments, such as the Violira and Electric Harp Guitar.
The Ensemble celebrates three decades of playing, creating, and recording together and is composed of William Eaton (harp guitar), Claudia Tulip (silver and bamboo flutes), Allen Ames (violin, Violira and mandolin), and Will Clipman (panglobal percussion). Each an accomplished artist in their own right, they come together to create music both ethereal and earthy. Part myth, music, song, and storytelling, their performances and compositions combine traditional form with improvisation, drawing on influences from musical styles around the world. Whether spiraling upward into the ether like a hawk on a thermal or tapping bedrock like the roots of a great tree, the soaring harmonies and deep grooves of this world chamber fusion quartet led by renowned harp-guitarist William Eaton are inspired and inspiring.
The proceeds of this Benefit Concert will go to Ensemble member Claudia Tulip to cover her much-needed medical care. Within the past year, Claudia has been diagnosed with a rare, aggressive lymphoma which requires extensive treatments. This includes traditional oncology with integrative naturopathic oncology to support her body's natural ability to heal. Your support will enable a fuller integration of both modalities.
