​Composers Project 2016

formally the 'Future Blend Project'

PoppyHarp Composers Project, formally the 'Future Blend Project', helps composers create and publish music to increase the amount of repertoire for the harp. Brand new compositions are developed through the course of the project in order to make them available to publish at the end!
​In previous years we have held premier concerts for the incredible works. Check out the harpy goodness below!
