Season Schedule 2023/2024
Join us for our 23/24 season!
Join us this concert season to perform holiday favorites at our Holiday Harp Concert in November 2023 in Winston-Salem and exciting dance music from across the globe at our Spring Concert in April 2024 in Burlington! Lever and pedal harpists of all ages and levels are welcome to participate. Details below.
The NC Harp Ensemble offers educational and performance opportunities to lever and pedal harpists of all ages and skill levels. Each harpist will be assigned harp ensemble parts based on their level of experience. All performers are expected to have their ensemble music fully prepared and at tempo prior to the first rehearsal.
