The Harp Guitar Gathering is an annual weekend-long event celebrating the instrument known as the harp guitar, as well as its players, builders and history.  It features two public concerts and a series of activities for registered participants.  Registered Gathering participants may attend all the weekend's activities, including workshops, Luthier panel and presentations, discussion groups, special performances, instruments sale, and much more.  The concerts and all weekend activities are included for participants who pay a single registration fee.  Discount spouse and family registrations are available as are some individual weekend events.  It is hoped that musicians, luthiers, scholars and fans alike will participate in and benefit from the synergy resulting from 'gathering' together for this purpose.
