LYCEUM HARP ENSEMBLE

Harpists ages 12 to 18 from both Salt Lake and Utah County now have the opportunity to receive instrument-specific instruction in a fun, social environment that serves musicians at a variety of ages and ability levels. Lyceum Harp Ensemble has performed alongside the BYU Harp Ensemble, performed with celebrity harpists, and have traveled and performed across the state. It is a unique opportunity that motivates young harpists through musical dedication, social interaction, and meaningful performance opportunities.

Lyceum Harp Ensemble, led by director Bethany Salisbury and other professional harpists from the community, serves students both at our American Fork campus and American Heritage School’s new downtown Salt Lake City campus. Both advanced and intermediate students may apply. Students in the advanced ensemble are expected to demonstrate musicality in playing advanced repertoire. Students applying to the junior ensemble should have a basic foundation of reading notes in both bass and treble clef, and should be proficient in changing their own levers.
