Salt Lake Temple Celebration · 2027
An invitation to the
Celebration Stage.
The Heber Valley Harp Symphony has been invited to perform at the Salt Lake Temple Celebration. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we would love for your harpist to be part of it.
Performance
A new level for our ensemble
A bigger stage, a bigger commitment
This concert takes our group beyond the community events we have enjoyed in the past to a significantly larger stage. To be ready, each ensemble member is expected to commit to learning their repertoire well and on time.
Music is assigned.
Each harpist has all of their assigned music fully learned.
Music does not need to be memorized, but notes, rhythms, and fingerings should be solid by the deadline.
Once the music is learned, rehearsals focus on group mastery and performance preparation rather than note learning. Consistent home practice is essential, so please consider your student's schedule and commitment level as you decide whether to participate.
