Part of the Festival of Sacred Music Series

The harp has been loved all over the world for its healing powers since ancient times and is considered a bridge between Heaven and Earth in many cultures. Join us for a special concert of original sacred music to free your imagination and open your heart to the celestial sounds of the Celtic harp. Christine Tulis will share songs inspired by the poetry of Rumi, other mystical saints, and her personal inner experiences. Her music is deeply devotional and blends traditional Celtic styles with Medieval, Renaissance, and Middle Eastern influences. Join us for the concert, followed by a reception with pre-dinner snacks and drinks.

Christine Tulis
Christine had a life-changing, spiritual experience the first time she heard the Celtic harp live at the age of 22. She discovered the mystical poetry of Rumi shortly thereafter and felt called to combine the sound of the harp with poetic spiritual imagery for healing. Christine has performed widely all over the U.S. as well as at two United Nations events, Chartres Cathedral in France, Grace Cathedral, and Harvard University. She self produced three recordings, including PORTAL which won a spiritual music award from the Moondance International Film Festival in Boulder, Colorado. Christine is also healing arts practitioner and is the founder of Sound Temple Healing Arts in San Rafael, California. https://christinetulis.com

Fargespill/Play of Colours (harp original)

Inspired by the question: Is life written in the stars or written day by day?  

This version of Echoes was recorded live during a performance with Sacred Voices in Denver, April 2025  

~  weaves harp, layered vocals, and ambient textures to explore the echoes of the past, the choices we make, and the strength it takes to stand in your own truth. ~


LYRICS

Little one 
Time stands still 
Will you make the jump, water wash away self-doubt and guilt 

What’s your story going to say? 
Is it written in the stars?   
Or are pages added day by day?

Echoes of days gone by
whispered by the wind 
Echoes of days gone by 
A dense fog has thinned 

Little one
Grounded by roots so deep, 
Will you dig them up, to stand alone on your two feet?

What’s your story going to say? 
Is it written in the stars? 
Or are pages added day by day? 

Echoes of days gone by
whispered by the wind 
Echoes of days gone by 
A dense fog has thinned 

Little one, 
Your life is your own
You have the choice to grow in the new, to leave behind the weathered and worn

What’s your story going to say? 
Is it written in the stars? 
Or are pages added day by day? 

Echoes of days gone by
whispered by the wind 
Echoes of days gone by 
A dense fog has thinned 


Echoes- Live

Inspired by the feeling of finding light after struggle and reclaiming your inner fire.

This version of On the Moon was recorded live during a performance with Sacred Voices in Denver, April 2025

~ weaves harp, layered vocals, and ambient textures to illuminate moments of freedom, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to stand in your own truth. ~

LYRICS

Hidden fire, light my way 
Show me more, so I can find a way 
It’s time, my mind is free 
Resurrect the fire in me 

I’m bleeding out from both hands now 
Cut free, free to hear the wind howl 

A Window into my mind, when I’m dreaming 
Protected Space in time, for healing 
I’ll be alright 
But can u see I’m struggling 
Catch me at twilight
I’ll be dancing on the moon 

Golden light , touch my skin
I know where I’m goin' and where I’ve been
Green fields, reach the sky line 
Open space, for me to take flight 
I’m bleeding out from both hands now 
Cut free, free to hear the wind howl 

A Window into my mind, when I’m dreaming 
Protected Space in time, for healing 
I’ll be alright 
But can u see I’m struggling 
Catch me at twilight
I’ll be dancing on the moon 

On The Moon - Live

Inspired by the enduring power and wisdom of nature, and our place within it. Written from the perspective of a tree.

This version of Nature Is My Home was recorded live during a performance with Sacred Voices in Denver, April 2025

~ weaves harp, layered vocals, and ambient textures to celebrate growth, resilience, and the deep connection between self and the natural world. ~

LYRICS

Nature is my home 
From a seed I’ve grown
Moving with the wind 
My branches stretch and moan 

Sun kissed are my leaves
Casting shadows with ease
Majestic is my aura 
Grown in grace each century  

I sing to the skies
day and night
The sky supplies me with life
Rain and light
-
Roots embedded deep 
Earth’s soil feeds me
Grounded to the land 
I stand in majesty
 
Seasons come and go 
Standing tall through summer and snow 
Living long while human’s pass on
I know what they don’t know

I sing to the skies
day and night
The sky supplies me with life
Rain and light

Instrumental Interlude - Live

Inspired by the journey from doubt and self-deprecation to clarity, strength, and renewed self-awareness.

This version of Found Myself Again was recorded live during a performance with Sacred Voices in Denver, April 2025

~ weaves harp, layered vocals, and ambient textures to reflect emergence from struggle, reclaiming inner power, and the joy of standing fully in your truth. ~

LYRICS

Ive been asleep inside
Detached body soul 
By now Im rectified 

Lay dormant in my mind
The years have passed
Im tormented 
But now Im redefined 

I seem to have found myself again amongst self deprecating lies

My eyes are clear as glass
Breathe in sweeping landscape
Freedom 
I cant look back 

Out of the smoke and ash 
Im still standing, moving, breathing
I see my path

I seem to have found myself again amongst self deprecating lies

We push past doubts, quieted
Open minded, Im higher than 
The atmospheric gases, still climbing 

Yeah, I feel joy within 
Im a force 
You cant break me 
I glisten golden 

Yeah I stand erect, stedfast 
Nothing will get past my shield
Of smoke and ash 

I seem to have found myself again amongst self deprecating lies

Found Myself Again - Live

The gates of madness

My music blends harp, vocals and ambient electronic textures. For me, creating something beautiful is healing. Beauty has a quiet power that softens us and music holds space for emotions in a way that words can't.
So, here is my expression. Explore my music and get to know me.

Créé en 2014, il se dédie à la promotion d'artistes et de projets musicaux ancrés dans des univers sombres, immersifs et narratifs.

WISHMASTER
Formé en 2007, ce groupe de metal symphonique et progressif se distingue par son travail de mise en scène sonore: chaque morceau se veut le chapitre d'une épopée inspirée de mythologies, de légendes ou de contes fantastiques.

ANITA FINNEGAN
Elle incarne le versant brut et émotionnel de Wishmaster. Sa voix, tour à tour puissante et vulnérable, est capable de transmettre l'urgence d'une bataille ou la détresse d'un personnage en quête de rédemption.
Parallèlement à ses activités avec Wishmaster, Anita développe une carrière solo où elle explore une facette plus intimiste et personnelle de son univers musical, mêlant folk, pop, rock, metal ou dark ambient.

CASSANDRE (DESROSIERS)
Soprano accomplie, elle apporte à Wishmaster une dimension éthérée et aérienne. Sa maîtrise des registres élevés crée des harmonies lumineuses en contraste avec les riffs métalliques, renforçant l'impact dramatique et la profondeur narrative des compositions.
Sous le nom de scène CASSANDRE, elle se lance à son tour en solo: son premier single est annoncé pour très bientôt, promettant de prolonger l'esthétique sombre et poétique qu'on lui connaît au sein du groupe.
