We gathered Harp Column cover models from throughout the years for this reunion photo at Somerset Folk Harp Festival
If you think Harp Column is just for pedal harpists, think again! This week we’re at the Somerset Folk Harp Festival, in Parsippany, N.J., and when we realized how many former Harp Column cover models were here, we knew we just had to get them all together for a reunion photo. From Kim Robertson, who talked to us in our very first year, to Sunita Staneslow, who graces the cover of our current issue, and everyone in between, Harp Column has a long tradition of featuring the best lever harp players in the world on our pages. (Download all their interviews in back issues.) Is there a lever harpist you want to see on our cover next? Tell us! In the meantime, we hope you enjoy some of the red-carpet candid photos we snapped at Somerset.
