Join us for another wonderful weekend of harp music, workshops, and fun with your favorite harp friends at the beautiful Seabeck Conference Center on the Kitsap Peninsula. Who can attend? Anyone interested in the folk harp! If you want to attend workshops and play at the harp circle you are welcome as a harp participant, regardless of skill level – our group includes everyone, from beginners to professionals. Harpers under 18 are welcome too; e-mail Sally for details. Non-harping companion? Keep reading! How much does it cost? For harp participants, $235 includes all activities, lodging, and six family-style meals, plus snacks and beverages; the cost for non-harping companions is $209, including lodging, meals, after-hours music, and the céilidh (but not the workshops or the harp circle). The Society has some needs- based tuition assistance available for harp participants; contact Sally for details. We are not able to offer partial registrations. Where do we stay? There are two lodging options: 1) Single-occupancy bedroom with community bathrooms and showers down the hall and 2) Double-occupancy bedrooms with a full bathroom/shower. The registration price is the same. These options will be on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. Please indicate your first and second choice on the registration form. What’s the schedule? Come Friday afternoon after 4:00 to settle in, greet friends, tune, and relax. After dinner we’ll learn this year’s new group tunes, followed by an all-play with the PSFHS Harpers’ Songbook, then impromptu after-hours music-making for anyone who wants to join in and make it happen! Saturday has three workshops, harp circle, céilidh and more music-making after that. Sunday we’ll enjoy another Songbook all- play followed by announcements, group photo, lunch and fond farewells. What are the workshops? Along with the céilidh (Patrice Haan) and *two* all-play sessions (Anna Jenkins) from the PSFHS Songbook: Bass Lines and Counter Melodies, with Beth Kollé. Enrich your playing by including passing tones, secondary mini-melodies and beautiful bass lines in your arrangements. Greetings from Arpeggiopolis!, with Harper Tasche. Add a touch of fabulous, be comfortable with your lowest and highest notes and get great technique warm-up, all at once. A Global Harp Pilgrimage, with Margaret Shelton Betts. What if you won a grant to travel the world studying harps for a year? Margaret did and is excited to tell us about it! Group Tunes Plus, with Harper Tasche. Learn this year’s new group tunes, plus background information about each tune and its cultural context. How do I sign up?
