Who's Going to be there
 

The 2009 Somerset Folk Harp Festival continues its tradition of bringing the harp community together for a festival showcasing the diversity of music, talent and experience of the folk harp world. Whether you want to focus on one style or type of music, solidify some specific skills, or try out something new, the breadth of this year’s workshop offerings is sure to expand your musical horizon. Our vendor and exhibitor mall is a key attraction.

Molly's coming in 2009 and she says:

I just love attending Somerset.  Actually, my enthusiasm for Somerset persuaded my sister to go with me in 2007, and she had a great time, bought a harp and is playing harp, too!  My daughter, who plays flute with me regularly at our church, also went to Somerset as a companion last year and would like to return this summer if all works out well.  We plan our summer schedule around Somerset.

Some feedback from 2008:

"This was my first Somerset. I thought it was absolutely wonderful! I am going home totally inspired. What a great community of people!"

"This conference is the gold standard for carefully-planned and well-managed events."

"I loved the festival except that there were too many good choices of workshops that I wanted to take at the same time." Note from the Director: this is a complaint I can live with!
