Paracelt

JUDITH ROMERO learned to play the harp while stationed in Asuncion, Paraguay, with the Foreign Service. She moved to Texas in 1982, and expended her repertoire to include Celtic music when she became involved with Scottish and Irish activities, such as Scottish country dancing, the North Texas Irish Festival, and Scarborough Faire.

EVELYN STONE has been a music teacher for over thirty years, and added harp to her other musical interests when her husband built her one. After meeting Judith at Scarborough Faire, she invited her over to see her harp. Judith was delighted with the sound of the Paraguayan and Celtic harps together and suggested that she and Evelyn become a duo.

Judith and Evelyn chose the name "ParaCelt" (pronounced "Para-Kelt") after their Paraguayan and Celtic harps, and now perform regularly at public and private events. Over the years they have added recorder to their performances, and have increased their repertoire to its present three to four hours. They made their first professional cassette tape, "ParaCelt Presents" in 1989, and now have 5 tapes and 4 CD's.
