A Message From Our President

Hello Harpists!

Summer music camps are in full swing with many of our members participating in some of the wonderful programs that Houston has to offer: Fort Bend ISD’s Orchestra Camp, Klein ISD’s All-State Clinic, AFA Summer Music Festival, and the Houston Summer Harp Festival. I hope that these camp experiences will translate into even more enthusiasm for the year-round programming that our chapter and its members have to offer; such as signing up to participate in the Houston Youth Harp Ensemble (see registration details below).  Last but not least, be sure to tag the GHC’s Instagram page when you post your summer camp and performance photos @ghcharpsociety, we’d love to see what you’re up to this July!
