The WCHS was formed in preparation for our hosting the World Harp Congress in 2011. Since that very successful event, we have continued to hold regular gatherings, and serve the local harp community. We also are the BC chapter of the American Harp Society.
We sponsor workshops and concerts, and raised funds to commission a new work by Scott Good that was performed by Elizabeth Volpé Bligh at the 2014 World Harp Congress, with help from the American Harp Society. The AHS also helped us sponsor some Focus on Youth participants in the World Harp Congress in 2011 and has given us grants for subsequent projects as well.
Membership is $4 per month and supports our activities and our new website. Please consider supporting the West Coast Harp Society by purchasing a membership or making a donation.
