West Coast Harp Weekend

  • Fireside Room, St Philip's Episcopal 5271 Scotts Valley Drive Scotts Valley, CA, 95066 United States (map)

A Day Camp intensive exploring improvisation, accompaniment patterns, and playing tunes in 3 blocks of group classes. Bring your harp, tuner, music stand, and whatever else you may need to be comfortable. Open to intermediate and advanced lever, pedal and double-strung harpists.

1pm-5pm in the Fireside Room, St Philip’s Episcopal Church, Scotts Valley, CA.

The “book ends” to our harp camp are two concerts I highly recommend:: Grammy-nominated jazz harpist Brandee Younger’s concert Friday, March 28, 7pm, and internationally-acclaimed kora player Sona Jobarteh’s concert Tuesday, April 1st, 7pm. Both concerts are presented by Kuumbwa Jazz Center and concert tickets should be purchased in advance at kuumbwajazz.org
