If you play, teach, study, research, or simply enjoy the harp, the American Harp Society is for you! We welcome harpists of all styles and genres—lever or pedal, historical or modern; there is a place for you here. Members receive the American Harp Journal twice yearly, as well as the annual AHS Teachers Forum and Regional Newsletters. We hold a National Conference every other year, offering world-class workshops, master classes, exhibits, and concerts. In the alternate years, we hold the combined AHS National Competition and Summer Institute featuring outstanding student performances and programming. Join the over 3000 members of the largest harp-related organization in the world!
Our aim is to promote and foster the appreciation of the harp as a musical instrument, to encourage the composition of music for the harp and to improve the quality of performance of harpists.
Our President and Chairman of the board would also like to give you a special welcome.
