Harpers’ Call 2023 – Take the 2-minute Tune Challenge!

Posted on 17 September 2023

Lá na Cruite | Harp Day takes place this year on Saturday 21st October 2023 with performances, workshops, talks and taster sessions planned across Ireland and beyond, involving as many people as possible in a celebration of our 1000-year old harping tradition. Now in its seventh year we invite harpers everywhere to join with us in marking this special day.

The theme of our 2023 harp day celebration is Meanma; the morale, the spirit and the pride that harpers have in our harping tradition, which is recognised on UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanities. Harpers worldwide can showcase and embody that joy and courage, as together we push the parameters of our harping tradition and sustain our living harping heritage.

Take up the 2-minute harp tune challenge!

Back by popular demand, our HARPERS’ CALL invites harpers at all levels of experience, from all corners of the world, to submit a 2-minute video recording, which will be shared on our online channels and on our interactive map on Saturday 21st October.

Videos can be sent to harpday2023@gmail.com by Sunday 1st October 2023, via wetransfer.com or Dropbox or Google Drive.
