Harps without Borders Workshop

Chris Caswell is going to present his workshop Harps without Borders the afternoon of his concert. This hour and a half workshop will allow you to explore the sounds and vibrations of the harp. No harp experience expected, just a love of listening to music.

Pictured is the prototype of the new Fairy Harp by Caswell Harps. It comes in different princess colors as well as a natural finish. It has the same effective range as a Soprano recorder, and the same stringing and spacing as the top end of the big harps. Chris promises to bring a couple up to Auburn for you to borrow and/or buy at the workshop.
