The Harp Guitar Gathering is the brainchild of world-renowned
harp guitarist Stephen Bennett.
Conceived in 2003 as a first-ever
gathering of harp guitar players, builders, historians and fans from
across the globe, it was successful enough to be re-christened the First
Annual Harp Guitar Gathering.
Hosted in beautiful
Williamsburg, Virginia by Stephen's family and friends, the first event drew
attendees from across the U.S. and Europe.
The full weekend consisted of
workshops and presentations by world-class players, luthiers and
historians, along with two concerts for an amazed public. In all the
world, never before had an entire stage and evening been taken over by a
sea of harp guitars and their performers!
We had so much fun, we decided to
make it an annual event! |
