[email protected] www.usaihc.org www.lyonhealy.com About the USA International Harp Competition The USA International Harp Competition (USAIHC) is among the most esteemed solo harp competitions in the world. Founded in 1989 by distinguished harpist Susann McDonald, the mission of the USAIHC is to elevate exceptional harpists to extraordinary heights through performance, new music, and education. Since inception, USAIHC has expanded to include four primary programs – a triennial solo harp performance Competition, a triennial solo harp Composition Contest, an annual Concert Series, and a year-round educational program called Harp Start. The solo harp performance Competition spans ten days and is open to harpists of all nationalities between the ages of 18 and 32. Contestants compete in four stages to a distinguished panel of seven international jurors. The first two stages consist of required repertoire, the third stage is a 40-minute solo program of the contestant’s choice, and the fourth stage features the top three finalists performing a concerto with the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music Summer Philharmonic Orchestra.
