What we do
We plan and support amazing projects that help change the lives of harpers across our community.
We work with established and up-and-coming artists to deliver workshops to help members learn more about our instrument, many types of music, and ourselves. Learn more about upcoming Workshops on our Events page.Â
Support
Music is made to be shared. Whether its joining a Harp Circle or applying for the Charitable Honorarium, we seek opportunities to help harpers pursue their performance goals across the DMV.Â
Our annual Getaway gives our members the opportunity for intensive learning, fellowship, and relaxation in a beautiful setting. Join us at Bon Secors as we explore a new to us venue. Learn more about this year’s Getaway.Â
WAFHS maintains harps available for rental throughout the DMV. We also help members find new homes for harps. Find a harp for rent or find your newest harp on the Rent/Sale page.
Throughout our history, we come together with music
WAFHS is a chapter of the International Society of Folk Harpers and Craftsmen
