In a col­lab­o­ra­tive exhi­bi­tion with The Inter­na­tional Harp Museum, the Polasek Museum will present 50 harps from the IHM’s col­lec­tion dat­ing from the 18th cen­tury to 21st cen­tury. Along with Amer­i­can and Euro­pean instru­ments, there will also be exam­ples of ancient African, Asian and Egypt­ian harps, vin­tage pho­tos, art­work, cos­tumes and jew­elry. A “decon­structed harp” dis­play will pro­vide vis­i­tors with the oppor­tu­nity to expe­ri­ence first-hand all the com­po­nents nec­es­sary to con­struct a harp. This will be an inter­ac­tive, hands-on instal­la­tion allow­ing each per­son to try play­ing the harp them­selves. Edu­ca­tional pro­gram­ming will include a live con­cert series fea­tur­ing per­for­mances on his­tor­i­cal instru­ments, clas­si­cal and jazz music con­certs, the IHM’s annual “Spot­light on Youth” schol­ar­ship audi­tion, lec­tures, begin­ner harp classes and other edu­ca­tional oppor­tu­ni­ties. In order to enhance the expe­ri­ence, pro­fes­sional local harpists will be peri­od­i­cally pro­vid­ing live music through­out the museum and gardens.
