This year's theme is "Bach to the Future."While we explore music from four centuries, we will learn what it takes to be a harpist in the 21st century and we will learn how to improve the way we read, hear and play music. All of this plus our usual intense ensemble work, refining practice techniques and some good fun times too! Campers are encouraged to reserve early as places are limited. Campers will need to bring their own harp to the Festival. Total fees for the Festival are $585.00, and include tuition, meals and deluxe cabin accommodations. There is a $100.00 Early Bird discount for applications received by April 15, 2012. For details, please contact us.
