Our Youth Harp Program is a unique opportunity within the Somerset conference, offering a cozy and friendly space for young harpists to make friends, play together, and explore a wide range of workshops only available at Somerset. With participants from around the globe, students will experience an incredible variety of harps and music. They can visit our Exhibit Hall, packed with hundreds of harps, and draw inspiration from daily concerts featuring some of the world’s top harpists.
Open to lever and pedal harp players of all skill levels, the program welcomes young harpists ages 7-16 into a supportive environment to develop both group and solo playing skills. If you’re looking to connect with other players your age, learn new harp skills, and enjoy playing in an ensemble, this program is perfect for you! While we suggest this age range, experienced younger players are also welcome. While other summer camps exist, our conference offers a one-of-a-kind experience at an accessible price, tailored specifically to young harp enthusiasts.
