Harp, Oh Canada

Harp, Oh Canada celebrates Canadian harpists and Canadian composers of harp music.

Today, this website launches as a tribute to One Harp World 2026 and the Oh Canada Harp Lounge. OHW is a combined conference between the World Harp Congress and the American Harp Society. This conference is gathering in Toronto, Canada and highlights Canadian harpists and harp music that has been written by Canadian composers.

It is remarkable the diversity and creativity of the Canadian harp world for what they have done and what they are doing. This website recognises some of the influential performers, mentors and pioneers of pedal and lever harp playing past and present in Canada, the Canadian music they have commissioned and performed as well as the Canadian composers who have been inspired to write a stunning amount of music for our instrument and the harp makers across Canada.

A grateful thank you for the support and enthusiasm from Canadian harpists, harp makers and harp friends who submitted their wealth of information for you to explore. Enjoy touring through the world of harp in Canada, the True North, strong & free! – July 16, 2026
