Harp Holiday
Started in 2014 Harp Holiday is the brainchild of founder Louise Johnson, the globally recognised former Principal Harpist of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra (1985-2019) and harp teacher at the Sydney Conservatorium. Louise has over 50 years of experience both performing and teaching.
Harp Holiday is a week long interactive gathering of professional harpists, wannabe harpists and "and always wanted to try the harp" harpists of all ages, all stages and all sizes. We meet up to share the joy of our chosen instrument. If you would like to enjoy support and harpy friendship, be you a beginner or professional, pedal or lever harpist, Harp Holiday is the place to be. We do not discriminate, with all techniques and styles, however strange and unruly, welcome to come along. All genres of music are explored from jazz, solo, orchestral to chamber music in a happy, relaxed environment. The week ends with all Harp Holiday participants playing in the public concert. This is a wonderful goal for the week and gives us all something to work towards, but don't worry, there's safety in numbers so really no pressure, other than the pressure you may put on yourself!
Held in Sydney, at the wonderful R J Wallace performing Arts Centre, Waverley College. Waverley is centrally located between the famous eastern suburb beaches and Bondi Junction Westfield, with over 400 specialty retail stores. Just 7km from the Sydney CBD and 5km from Bondi Beach Waverley has lots of cosy cafes, cheap and cheerful pubs and is easy to get to via train or bus from the city. It is a lovely, genteel suburb, Princess MIchael of Kent used to live there.
