McNeese State University’s ninth annual Harp Camp will be held Tuesday-Saturday, Aug. 5-9, in the Shearman Fine Arts center.

The camp is designed for all ages and all levels of expertise, from beginning to advanced harpists, according to Camp Director Barbara Belew, associate professor in the department of performing arts.

Campers learn about the construction and history of the harp and participate in individual and ensemble playing. Some attendees will have the opportunity to compose their own music.

The MSU Harp Camp was launched in 2000 with just five campers. Last year, 32 campers attended.

Cost is $40. Applications and payment are due by July 24. For more information to receive a registration form, contact Belew at 337-475-5036 or 337-477-4545, or contact the McNeese department of performing arts at 337-475-5028.
