Program summary

Elyrica is focused on ensembles for KIDS, and for ADULTS, with wonderful music arranged for each participant (really!) and sent out ahead. It’s a fun, intensive, non-competitive experience for harpists age 8 through adult, with all levels, and all harp types. This is our 28th year and we look forward to playing together in coached sessions and in our final concert, to enjoying interactive workshops, guest performers, fun events, and time for visiting and making friends.

Additional info

Elyrica is open to students of all levels and ages from age 8 through adult, lever and pedal. We always have a great group of kids and a wonderful group of adults, and a variety of repertoire from classical, folk, Latin, and popular music. The pieces are arranged for each participant, (really!) so it is at your level! Every year I am amazed by how much each participant learns and grows through the week. Lasting friendships are made. We also have wonderfully talented and dedicated faculty and guest artists working with Elyrica. 2025 was our 27th consecutive session, and we hope you will join us this year and become part of the Elyrica family!
