Mornings
Tuesday through Thursday morning, each ensemble individually rehearses their repertoire in preparation for the Friday morning concert. Each ensemble has three pieces individually and an additional two pieces that will be performed with the other ensembles. The Combined Ensemble rehearses three times in the afternoon or evening. Our faculty members rotate and have the chance to work with each ensemble.
What To Expect
Participating harpists are expected to prepare their ensemble parts before the festival begins. You will choose your ensemble when you register. Faye Seeman, our Ensemble Coordinator, will then email your teacher and assign you an appropriate part. Then Lou Hurst, our Music Distributor, will email your music.
