A Message From Our President

Happy Halloween, harpists!

I hope everyone is staying warm and having a wonderful fall. We have some fantastic events coming up in November with Rachel Lee Hall, winner of the 2019 Ima Hogg Competition. Please join us for her recital, or masterclass, or both! Now is also a great time to let us know about your upcoming holiday performances. The holiday season is always a busy one for harpists, so tell us where you are playing so we can come support you. As we approach Thanksgiving, I know I am thankful to be part of this great community of harpists! Happy Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Fall!
