THE YOUNG ARTISTS FUND
Young harpists are invited to give recitals under
the auspices of the American Harp Society. A
tour of cities in which there are Chapters can be
arranged and this offers a fine opportunity for
the young artist. The purpose of the program is
to bring the harp to audiences in every area, and
to give the Young Artists badly needed experience.
For information, write Emily Oppenheimer,
Chairman, 12 Outer Road, S. Norwalk, Connecticut
06854, Telephone: (203) 838-5972.
The following guidelines for these concerts
have been adopted by the Board of Directors:
1. The Society will pay a stipend of $150.00 per
concert to the performing harpist.
2. The Society will pay transportation expenses
of the harpist.
3. The Chapter will assume all other expenses.
4. The Chapter will retain the profits from the
concert, but it is suggested that a portion of
the profit over $100.00 be returned to the
Young Artists Fund.
5. The Board of Directors or the Executive
Committee will act on each request individually,
taking into account the practicality of
the proposal and the funds available.
6. All applications must include the following:
a list of qualifications with supportive material
including a sample program, recommendations,
and a tape of not less than 40
minutes' duration.
7. All harpists participating in the program
must be members of the American Harp Society.
8. The Chairman is authorized to extend up to
$50.00 to assist any Chapter to sponsor a
Young Artist concert.
This fund is supported by contributions from
chapters and individuals. Donations may be made
in the name of the chapter or individual, or may
be designated to honor someone else; in either
case the gift will help to assure the future of
harp performance. Checks should be made
payable to the American Harp Society, Inc.,
designated Young Artists Fund, and sent to 6331
Quebec Dr., Hollywood, CA 90068. Contributions
are tax deductible.
