We are pleased to announce that NEMC will once again offer Harp Studies!  It has been approximately 30 years since we've offered harp.  After the famous Salzedo Harp Colony closed in nearby Camden, Maine, harp students have gravitated towards other summer institutes.  However, we have been receiving more and more inquiries over the past few years, so we have hired a wonderful musician and teacher, Eric Sabatino, to teach Second Session. (July 22 - Aug 12). Eric is a frequent clinician, adjudicator and first-call harpist in the DC metro area. Read more about Mr Sabatino HERE.
