Mountain Laurel Autoharp Gathering

The Mountain Laurel Autoharp Gathering brings together autoharp enthusiasts from around the world for five days of workshops, concerts and ’round the clock music-making. Now in our 31st year, the Gathering features concerts and workshops from some of the folk world’s best musicians — and they come because no matter what else they’re famous for, they also just happen to play the autoharp!

Our MLAG 2024 Pre-Gathering classes are set and our instructors will be Karen Mueller (Advanced), Les Gustafson-Zook (Intermediate), and Tom Schroeder (Beginners). 

The draft schedule for in-person MLAG 2024 is now ready for viewing. 

Registration for Virtual MLAG will not begin May 1, 2024.  There’s still a lot to do to get ready for that on our end;  however, we do have a draft schedule of the workshops we plan to offer virtually in 2024. All times will be Eastern Daylight Time.

The 30th annual Gathering is now history and it was a great event in our new setting at Shippensburg University.  There were many highlights and Kathie Hollandsworth has outlined most of them in her Director’s Recap message.
