New Zealand Harp Festival 2004

Under the auspices of the Harp Society of New Zealand Incorporated

It happened! It was a great success from all points of view. We had a feast of harps and harp music, and were entertained, educated, enchanted, inspired. The venue worked very well, the food was great, the merchants and their merchandise offered opportunities usually not available in NZ. The public concerts were filled to capacity. Thank you to all who came and helped to make it possible: the organising committee, our generous sponsors, the merchants, the participants.

This website has almost filled it useful purpose, and will soon be dismantled.
