PERRYSBURG — Hosted by St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church the St. Tim’s Discovers music series will begin the 2023-24 season with the 8th Annual HarpFEST and harp camp.
The HarpFEST concert is set for Friday at 7 p.m.
Directed by Nancy Lendrim, principal harpist for the Toledo Symphony Orchestra, the week-long camp is attended by harpists ranging in age from 11-60 years. Along with Lendrim, Rachael Donaldson will be teaching some of the younger students. Sponsors of the camp include St. Tim’s Discovers, Toledo Alliance for the Performing Arts and the Northwest Ohio Chapter of the American Harp Society.
After four days of intense lessons and workshops, the HarpFEST is the grand finale concert presented by the camp participants before a public audience. Solos, small ensembles and selections featuring the entire camp are on the program. Among the 13 harpists in this year’s camp, many of the school-age musicians are students from Perrysburg Schools.
The concert is being held in St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church for free; donations are accepted. St. Timothy’s is located at 871 E. Boundary St. The church has ample parking and is fully handicapped accessible.
