Orison - Artists' Biographies


A San Francisco Bay area quintet, Orison specializes in instrumental music of Celtic origins and influences that reflects both folk and classical styles. The group's instrumentation includes harp, flute, recorder, oboe, cello, English horn, and both classical and steel-string guitars. They take their name from the ancient word for invocation or prayer (as in Hamlet, III, i). Members include (left to right): Steve Coulter, Anne Cleveland, William Coulter, Shelley Phillips and Barry Phillips.
