GREAT LAKES HARPERS
Great Lakes Harpers, founded in 1986, is a midwest regional chapter of The International Society of Folk Harpers and Craftsmen, Inc. (ISFHC). In Spring, 2006, GLH became incorporated in the state of Illinois as Great Lakes Harpers, Inc., a nonprofit cultural and educational organization. The 501(c)(3) federal tax-exempt designation was granted, January, 2007.
GLH serves amateur and professional players, builders, dealers of harp-related products and all who appreciate and support the art of small harp music-making in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota. Each year in October, GLH offers a special event alternating between a regional conference and a smaller immersion workshop with a nationally recognized clinician. About every other month, members receive an enthusiastic newsletter featuring informational articles about harpers, harps and harp music, news of member activities, announcements about area concerts and special harp events, classified advertising for harps to buy or sell and more. Members also receive annual service lists of area builders, teachers, professional performers and a membership directory. Join us to share our common interests, to encourage and support this wonderful music!
