Professional Harpists get together to share some music, talk with colleagues about what they are working on, share some delicious food and spend some quality time together.
San Francisco, with its iconic Golden Gate Bridge and vibrant arts scene, is home to some of the most talented harpists in the country. These musicians, with their delicate plucking and ethereal melodies, have the power to transform any event into a magical experience.


Introduction: The Melodic Charm of the Harp

The harp, one of the oldest musical instruments, has a timeless allure. Its gentle melodies can evoke a range of emotions, from nostalgia to joy, making it a favorite at various events, especially in a city as culturally rich as San Francisco.
