Young Artist's Harp Seminar

Kimberly Rowe co-founded the Young Artist's Harp Seminar in 2002 with Susan Bennett Brady. The two-week seminar provides intensive harp training for students age 12–26 in the scenic Northern Georgia mountains of Rabun Gap, near the North Carolina Border. Approximately 30 harpists from the U.S., Canada, and South America attended YAHS in 2007. In 2008 the Seminar will present the first Young Artist's Harp Competition, offering prizes up to $1,000.

Beginning in the Middle

Beginning in the Middle, a weekend seminar for adult harpists in Williamsburg, Va., was launched in 1998 by Kimberly Rowe and co-founder Mary Jane D'Arville, owner of the Virginia Harp Center. The annual event attracts approximately 150 harpists from across the U.S. who participate in workshops, lessons, and classes with renowned instructors.

Saratoga Harp Colony

In 2005, Kimberly Rowe was invited by Philadelphia Orchestra Principal Harpist Elizabeth Hainen to be an inaugural faculty member of the Saratoga Harp Colony, a three-week training program for harpists in Saratoga, N.Y. Rowe continues to assist Hainen as a harp ensemble instructor and teacher at the annual event.
