Welcome to the Harp Society of New Zealand
The NZHS welcomes you to our website PDF Print E-mail

 

The New Zealand Harp Society has been running since the mid 1980s, with the first journal being published in 1987. To date we publish three journals a year (full of profiles, information and events) and have an informative website and (at times, active) online harp forum.

 

The NZHS committee sees it as being advantageous to belong to the society for the following reasons:

- to make contact with harp players and makers around NZ,

- to receive information about visiting harp players and makers,

- to be informed about harp events around NZ and the world,

- to be a resource for harp players of all levels,

- to promote an appreciation of the harp in the wider community,

- to provide information regarding local teachers, performers and harp makers.

 

If you would like to send your name and address to anna.d(at)xtra.co.nz you will be sent the latest copy of the NZHS journal and a subscription form. If you decide to join the harp society you will also be sent an invite to the harp forum on which we get updates on local and NZ wide harp events, harps for sale, harp related websites and web performances, upcoming international festivals and concerts, and other interesting harpenings in the harp world.

 
Journal #50 March 2010 PDF Print E-mail

Welcome to our 50th journal

The first journal was published in the late 1980's - I had a re-read of the early journals to see how things have changed and found the same sorts of stories and harp related information as we currently publish in the journals twenty years later.

In this edition you can read profiles on Harp maker Kim Webby and harper Gabrielle Gregory (both of these profiles are continued from earlier journals and as a member you can dig these out of our NZHS archives) and harper Noes Butt.  There are reviews of Helen Webby and Davy Stuart's new album "The Golden Strand"  and an interview with Mary O'Hara from our roving harper, Richard Hanna. As well as these things you can read articles from members about harping at local events - Latin American Music workshop with Becky and what is planned for NZ Harp Music Month (May) and NZ Harp festival 2012.  All this and more - in your mail box or inbox soon.
