SWVA Harp Chapter
The Southwest Virginia chapter of the American Harp Society is open to harpists of all ages and abilities. Our mission is to connect harpists together and form a lasting network in this area. If you are a professional, student, hobbyist, or enthusiast in the southwest Virginia area we encourage you to join! In doing so, you will be connected with harpists in the area, teachers local to you, and a host of events and meetings throughout the year!
Our officers are elected each year and are allowed to hold a position for multiple terms.
Our current officers are listed below:
President: Colleen Potter Thorburn
Vice-President: Kara Baumann
Secretary/Treasurer: Renee Rippe
If you play, teach, study, research, or simply enjoy the harp, the American Harp Society is for you! We welcome harpists of all styles and genres—lever or pedal, historical or modern; there is a place for you here. Joining our chapter and the national organization allows you to have a array of information and opportunities locally and across the US. Please visit the American Harp Society at www.harpsociety.org!
