Harpers
Hall
makes its home in the San Francisco South Bay Area and
Central California Coast. Our purpose is to promote an
appreciation of the folk harp, to cultivate its living
musical tradition, and to preserve the fun and magic
of the harp for members and for the general public. To
that end, we hold numerous events throughout the year,
from harp jams to house concerts, festival
performances to yearly weekend retreats. Journey
through Harpers Hall to discover an enchanting world
of harpers and learn their songs and their stories.
Here you will meet many of the revelers, see
the various lands they travel to, and find out how to
join.
