Your gift will enable us to continue to operate, albeit on a new digital platform, and continue to provide life-changing music education, inspiration and connection to our students and our community at a time when it is needed most. We are deeply grateful for your support and every gift will make a difference!

More information about GreenSpring-HARPS Foundation: The Foundation's mission is to maintain and develop music education programs and performance opportunities for children and youth, regardless of financial means or disabilities, utilizing music as a catalyst for personal growth and social change.

When Hurricane Michael came through Richmond, the basement of our music school flooded. We sustained thousands of dollars of mold and water damage to instruments, teaching materials and necessary organizational supplies. Thankfully none of the American Youth Harp Ensemble harps were downstairs! But we lost guitars, keyboards, orchestral instruments, harp covers, benches and accessories and many more items essential to function as a music academy. 

We are heartbroken knowing that these instruments and materials we have worked to attain over the last 25 years for our students will end up thrown away.

We appreciate the outpouring of support we have received from our friends and musical family and are grateful for any donation whether it be financial or in the form of instruments or musical supplies. 

GreenSpring International Academy of Music is the home of the 2016 Grammy-considered American Youth Harp Ensemble,  the GreenSpring Chamber Music and Chamber Orchestra, the Virginia Choristers, the Academy of Music and so much more. At GreenSpring, we strive to transform lives through instruction, performances and community engagement in order to create a more beautiful, equitable world through music.
