Join us throughout the year for lots of great online content!
The AHS is excited to present “Spill The Tea … on all things harp”, a new live online series every harpist will want to bookmark/keep in their favorites/saved box.
Topic focused, Spill The Tea’s mission is to spark discussions on how to navigate through an array of spaces (ie weddings/events, orchestral auditions, audio/technology, helping build strong chapter community, marketing/social media, starting a teaching studio and so much more).
Facilitated by a panel of harpists from various genres and special guests, Spill The Tea hopes to bring different perspectives to help today’s harpists on their musical paths.
AHS members may watch Episode 1 in the myAHS member portal. Join Lizzie Steiner, Gracie Sprout, Ari Schwartz, and Riza Printup for a lively discussion in navigating (and maybe sharing a few horror stories) in the world of weddings and event gigs.
Spill the Tea is Free for AHS Members. The live broadcasts are $20 for non-AHS members, $18 for non-member students.
In this workshop, IDEA Committee members will be presenting and sharing tactics/resources to help chapters host their own engaging local events. Topics will include Tool Curation for DIY Events and Trivia, as well as Community Collaboration and Development.

The AHS Annual Membership Meeting was held on Sunday, June 16, 2024 at 2 pm EDT. This session included updates on the Society and our strategic plan, changes in leadership, and much more. This year, our keynote speaker was renowned harpist Ann Hobson Pilot. In a later session she discussed her experience of performing with John Williams, the legendary Star Wars composer, for 30 years and working with him on his harp concerto.
The South Florida Chapter Ensemble performed at the meeting as well, and members approved last year's meeting minutes. The meeting stream was available on the AHS Facebook page, and YouTube channel.
