American Harp Society

The American Harp Society held their 18th National Competition and 8th Summer Institute in Salt Lake City this year. It was an incredible chance to hear amazing harpists perform and also to sit in on some lectures on various topics. I had the opportunity to perform in one of the evening performances. The performance was comprised of many different ensembles. Another harpist and I played Maple Leaf Rag, Golliwogs Cake Walk, and Bach's Toccata and Fugue. It was so fun to be a part of the concert, and was even more exciting as there were many famous harpists in the audience.
