This festival is open to students and harpists of all ages. Children (with accompanied parent), youth, teens, adults are all invited to join us for this non-competitive week. The main emphasis is camaraderie, ensemble, New! chamber music with solo performance opportunities, a master class, private coaching, harp maintenance, Fun and Games Night as an ice breaker, and 3-day progressive workshops taught by our outstanding clinicians.
Afternoon Chamber Rehearsing and Private Practice

Instead of attending the workshops, you work independently with each other or alone preparing chamber music for an informal performance on Friday afternoon. We will help you find the perfect chamber pieces to play. This entails learning additional music to your ensemble music
