Have you ever heard of the music genre, Harp Rock? If not, let Camille and Kennerly introduce you to it! Camille and Kennerly are also known as the Harp Twins.
Camille and Kennerly are identical twins that both started to play the harp at a young age.
They were both classically trained at Universities in harp performance. They have created original songs and have performed all over the world.
The sisters stated they “have a passion and flair for arranging and performing rock, metal, and soundtrack music for Harp Duet … Camille and Kennerly have created a unique niche for themselves: playing rock and metal music using only their two harps.”
Camille and Kennerly took on the rock classic of “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin with their harps. They did not create their own unique version, but played the song on their harps to the original version.
It sounds almost impossible for “Stairway to Heaven” to be played on the harps and have it sound the same, but these two professionals do it beautifully.
The Harp Twins performed the song at the bottom of the Grand Staircase in the “Place de la Musique” of the Sanfilippo Family Estate and Museum in Illinois.
A perfect location for the classic song.
Once the Harp Twins start to play, you can instantly hear the melody of “Stairway to Heaven.”
These identical twins are so attuned with the other that it seems magical they are actually playing at the same time. These sisters are performing in simple white dresses, which creates an almost angelic performance.
The rock song sounds so delicate and beautiful on the harp, that one can forget it is originally Led Zeppelin that created the song.
“Stairway to Heaven” is known for its length in time and the Harp Twins do not play only part of the song, they play the song in its entirety. Their performance is so impressive and unique. What is even more impressive is that there was,
“No studio or sound engineer. No splices, edits, loops, overlays, or backtracks. Just 2 harps — 1 audio take!”
Their performance quickly went viral and has been viewed over three million times!
This classic rock song is not the only rock or metal song that the Harp Twins have taken on to perform on their harps. Camille and Kennerly have an entire YouTube playlist that contains 23 videos of viral harp rock songs! These videos had all become viral as well with over a million views for each video.
They have performed Metallica, Iron Maiden, Guns N’ Roses, Black Sabbath, and many other rock covers on their harps!
Viewers have left over four thousand comments to Camille and Kennerly about their amazing hard performance. Some have stated,
“I would actually find it possible that Led Zeppelin covered it from Camille and Kennerly… Just a compliment, I hope mr Plant can forgive me :)”
“Taking one of the hardest instruments to learn on the face of the earth through out history and present day and playing the instrumental’s of songs that never would have been thought of being played on said instrument is just FANTASTIC!”
