This is the third conference held in St. Paul, primarily because of its large number of lovely college campuses. The 75 members of the Minnesota Chapter of the American Harp Society have been preparing this conference for three years and sincerely hope we can make your visit comfortable, educational, and inspiring. St. Paul is the Capitol City of Minnesota and as such has much history behind it. The Sioux Indians lived in what is now the St. Paul area long before white people arrived. In 1819 the United States Army established Fort St. Anthony in a temporary building. Between 1820 and 1822, American soldiers under Colonel Josiah Snelling built Fort St. Anthony as a permanent fort. The fort covered a large area on the West Bank of the Mississippi River and soon attracted settlers.

    BACAHS celebrates another dynamic year in the harp community. We almost let the time go by without reviewing the ways the chapter has supported our members, both individually and as a whole. Thanks to the extended deadline offered by AHS, it gave just the time needed to step back and recognize that this chapter has had a banner year. We hope that you will agree that BACAHS deserves the distinction of Chapter of the Year for a second year in a row. In asking ourselves what makes our chapter worthy this time, we hearken back to the two mission statements we use as our guidelines. First, the American Harp Society mission: A. Celebrate our legacy B. Inspire excellence C. Empower the next generation of harpists And the Bay Area Chapter mission: A. To share information B. To promote and foster an appreciation of the harp as a musical instrument in the Bay Area C. To further harp education at all levels We celebrate our legacy by identifying ourselves as a chapter of the American Harp Society. Our comprehensive website, BACHARP.org, and informative newsletters offer both national and local harp news, member news, event announcements, resources for harpists and classified ads. Our June 2016 newsletter went directly to a source of the AHS legacy and featured long-time member, performer, teacher, composer, and arranger, Ellis Schuman. Well into his senior years, Ellis still attends events and contributes to the ongoing evolution and education of our chapter members. In January 2017, long-time member, former chapter president, harpist, technician and educator, Karen Gottlieb contributed “Contracts for Free- Lance Harpists”, an incredible resource for empowering the current and next generation of harpists that is a must-read for all performers.
