Harp at the Peabody Conservatory

Harpists at the Conservatory are encouraged to develop their skills as solo, chamber, and orchestral musicians in a wide variety of performance situations. These include large ensembles, small chamber groups, and the Peabody Harp Ensemble. Recital opportunities such as Peabody's Thursday Noon Series are duplicated throughout the greater Baltimore/Washington area—and there are many metropolitan and community orchestras, chamber and choral groups who regularly use harpists from the Peabody class.

Harpists who wish to bring personal instruments to Peabody will find dormitory rooms spacious enough to practice comfortably; many off-campus apartments also have adequate space and access for a large instrument. The Conservatory owns a number of concert harps in excellent condition, which are available for practice, orchestra, and other ensemble activities. There is a separate practice area for harpists, with space for personally-owned as well as Conservatory instruments.
