NARROW YOUR FOCUS • EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS
world class experienced teachers you can trust
No matter where you are in your harp journey, get inspired by the world class presenters and performers Somerset brings to you year after year.
Focus on a specific genre or technique, expand your area of study, discover and get inspired by music from all around the world.
We provide guidance for all levels of practice so you can find inspiration no matter how long you have been playing the harp. Always wanted to play the harp and don’t know where to start? We have a beginner track just for you!

Christy-Lyn and her sister visited Somerset in 2019 from South Africa.
The festival is Hybrid now so you can watch and rewatch workshops and concerts for the length of your subscription.
Need to get your harp regulated? Liza Jensen will be doing harp regulation at Somerset. Book your appointment with Liza at Harp Central. Since we’ll have her on-site and in-person (yay!) you’ll have the option to bring your harp to her for regulation and minor repairs. To schedule your harp regulation/repair with Liza on-site, click here to sign-up. To hear more about Liza’s harp journey, check out her interview on The HarpSong® Podcast.

Somerset will be HYBRID in 2026. This means we’ll be on-site at The Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village, for those who want to attend in-person, while at the same time be on Zoom with our ‘live’ workshops and events.
Most of our workshops will be presented “live” on-site in Princeton AND on Zoom and recorded for later replay via your member sign-in. No matter where you are in the world – the festival is located wherever you are!
