The American Youth Harp Ensemble - America's Premiere Youth Harp Ensemble

Repertoire

The American Youth Harp Ensemble
Performances

The harp is a remarkably versatile instrument, and the Ensemble's repertoire is designed to showcase its versatility. The primary focus of our repertoire is classical, but pieces from other genres are actively included in each performance.
Of particular note is "When Twilight Falls" by Laura Zaerr, a concert fantasy on two Celtic lullabies composed specifically for the American Youth Harp Ensemble. The Ensemble performed the world debut of "When Twilight Falls" with the Richmond Symphony on Mother's Day 2004 with the composer present, who is herself an accomplished harpist. We are most grateful to Laura for her efforts and her confidence in allowing the Ensemble the privilege of debuting her work.
