LITURGICAL HARP RETREAT AUGUST 6 - 9 , 2009 Amicalola Falls Lodge, North Georgia Mountains "Inspirational...educational...practical"
GENERAL INFORMATION Join us for a relaxing weekend getaway in a breathtaking setting in the North Georgia Mountains as we explore the use of the harp in its original context of a truly sacred instrument. Workshops will be offered on worship, technique, repertoire and history. Taize' prayer will be offered throughout the conference, with teaching on this unique ecumenical form of musical worship. Several concerts will feature liturgical harpists and vocalists demonstrating the possibilities of sacred music for lever and pedal harp. This year's retreat has been expanded to four days to offer more workshops and allow extra time for reflection. Presenters for 2009 will include founders Martha and Lynn Bailey, Christine Van Arsdale, Robbin Gordon-Cartier, Angi Bemiss, Victoria Lawson and Rhett Barnwell. This year's program will also offer a Harp Ensemble for all participants! Amicalola Falls Lodge is located approximately one and a half hours north of Atlanta, Georgia, in a prime location at the top of one of North Georgia's highest peaks. Panaromic views of the mountains are available from all rooms in the Lodge, and the surrounding forests offer opportunities for hiking, meditation and communion with nature. The Falls are spectacular from both the top and base and are some of the highest and most dramatic in Georgia. RETREAT VENUE
