A Message From Our President

Hello Harpists!
I am excited to begin my tenure as President of our vibrant harp chapter! Houston became my home 14 years ago when I started my undergraduate education at Rice University. It has been a true joy to watch the chapter grow alongside our city. We have welcomed many talented students, professionals, and harp enthusiasts over the years who have contributed to the success of the chapter. Thank you to all of our members who made our 2021-2022 season feel like a post-pandemic rebirth of the GHC by participating in our masterclasses, inaugural college fair, recitals, and happy hour. Plans are underway for the 2022-2023 season and there’s always room to get involved. Please let me or any of the board members know if you would like to lend a hand during the upcoming season.
