Welcome to the Nashville Chapter of the American Harp Society!

Nashville's local chapter of the American Harp Society, Inc. is an organization of harpists and harp enthusiasts from Nashville and the surrounding area who wish to know other harpists in the area and with goals of vitalizing the local harp community and enhancing the support for the local harpists in Middle Tennessee. We operate as a chapter of the American Harp Society, a non-profit organization, and our members consist of professional and semi-professional harpists, harp instructors, students of all ages, and lovers of the harp. We promote opportunities for cultivating the appreciation for harp music, encouraging youth education, meeting and acquainting with other harpists, and sharing information through our annual events, competitions, masterclasses, special events, and concerts. 

This site has information about how to join our chapter, our upcoming and past events, and news about harpists and harp performances around Nashville and the surrounding area. Please take a moment to look around and discover the thriving harp community in Middle Tennessee! We welcome your comments, ideas, and suggestions. Please feel free to contact us at nashvilleharpsociety@gmail.com for more information.
