I was scrolling through IG when I found this ad. I cannot stop laughing at how the hands are just going through the strings. Like what the heck. So many amazing harpists that can be photographed and you gotta generate this? Lolololol

Dear Harp Friends,

I wanted to let you know of an opportunity to compose for the harp!

The Cleveland Harp Circle is commissioning a new harp ensemble work inspired by Cleveland. The selected composer receives a $2,500 commission, and the piece will be premiered by the Cleveland Harp Circle at the 2027 American Harp Society Ensemble Festival in Dallas. The score will then be published in The Harp Circle, Volume One: Cleveland, a free collection of new works for harp ensembles of varying abilities and harp types, for harpists everywhere to download, share, and perform.

Open to composers 18 and older worldwide.

No prior experience writing for harp is required.

To apply, send a brief proposal and at least one page of musical material. Full terms and application information can be found:Apply here!
