The Summer Institute, held in odd-numbered years, focuses on the student harpist with workshops, master classes, and concerts by the best performers and pedagogues in the world.  The Summer Institute is held in conjunction with AHS National Competition, where dazzling young harpists compete for awards and scholarships.
