Welcome to the New England Irish Harp Orchestra website. We are many harps and harpers with a shared vision of playing great music and having fun doing it.
2025 has turned out to be a busy time for us. We had March concerts every weekend. It was so nice to see so many of you there.
We have some concerts this summer; North Conway, NH and the Sunflower festival at the Coppal House Farm in Lee, NH.
I'm patiently waiting for the warmer weather and wish you a happy spring.

Below are some highlights from 2023.
We've returned from our Ireland tour and are happy to report that a good time was had by all. Our first concert was in Port Laois at the Malthouse, with Siobhan Buckley and Music Generation Laois. Seeing 50-60 harps on the stage was thrilling, and hearing them even more so. Here is the link to the Malt House article:

We continued with concerts in Killarney and Tralee(thanks to Tim O'Shea and Sam for all their help arranging these concerts); Galway (Thank you Grace Timlin for all your help and for playing with us); and our last concert was in beautiful Doolin(many thanks to Carmel Shannon for access to the Russell Cultural Center).
Here is the link to our poster for the tour. One of our members, Evelyn, designed the poster and did all the graphic work. So many thanks, Evelyn.

Saturday 21 October is La na Cruite - also known as Harp Day. This event is sponsored by Harp Ireland and harpers from all around the world send Harp Ireland videos of their harp playing. We had two videos last year and have submitted two videos this year. All the videos they choose will be posted on the 21st.
