--------------------------------------------
Join us for our first ever (online) Transpennine Harps Festival weekend! There will be a wide variety of workshops as well as the opportunity to meet and chat with other harp enthusiasts...!
All workshops will be held using Zoom and the relevant links will be sent out to participants in good time for the classes.
All of the sessions will be recorded so you can reveiw them later (they will be online for a period of six months during which you will be able to download them to keep should you wish), and there will be handouts and printed music with each class for you to download and keep.
If you are unfamiliar with Zoom, never fear - you don't need any special equipment other than a laptop/phone/tablet and a reasonable internet connection. It is very simple to use and we are available for any troubleshooting!
Our tutors Lucy Nolan and Tamsin Dearnley will be leading a dazzling array of workshops over this two-day exploratory feast of the possibilities of the harp. With their incredibly diverse backgrounds, let them take you through music both old and new, from near and far, melodic and rhythmic - and with the possibility of creating your very own silent film score...!
There will be spaces available for private lessons of 30 or 60 minutes with both tutors - please contact them to book a slot and let them know what you'd like to work on so that they can prepare materials in advance.
