Join us for the Fall/Holiday Program featuring TWO Harp Ensembles! Please make sure you can fully commit to the Main Concert and most of the additional performance opportunities.
Note: that we have a subgroup for young beginners. We will modulate rehearsals, depending on the piece we are working on at the time.
Want a lesson with Alissa to work on Ensemble pieces or anything at all? Book a time using this link (it checks with her work calendar).

All harpists are expected to work on ensemble pieces with their private teachers and during their regular practice time throughout the week.
Please bring your harp to each rehearsal. Once registration is confirmed, Alissa will publish a rotation for who gets to use Alissa's harp for rehearsal (so you don't have to bring your harp every time).
