This month long festival is primarily an orchestral training camp for pedal harp students from ages 14 - 24 with four different weekly concerts with two orchestras and different conductors.

additional info

Harp students are placed in two different orchestras but learn each others’ parts to help build their libraries for the future. The harp studio has a welcoming “family” atmosphere.
