"Harpists for Peace" is an international group of harpists, harpers and harp lovers who care about world peace. It was founded in 2007 by harpist and human rights activist Alexis Aria.

In July 2009, the first ever Peace Hour was held globally.  Harp players all over the world played their instruments for one hour, inviting one hour of reflection on Peace and the dream of Peace.

Locations varied from one's own porch to cafes, gardens, historical sites, beaches, parks, churches, concert halls, on a yacht, Ground Zero, the Holocaust Monument in New York, and Parliament Square in London.

For Peace Hour 2010, the set date was 10-10-10.  Harpists and harpers  in every precious corner of the world made it the most special day for our Harpists For Peace family.  So many touching stories, inspirations, videos and pictures.  It was just beyond words.  We all know that we will never be the same.

*** The set date for Peace Hour 2011 was September 11.   Harpists all over the world joined in with their melodies to help with te healing on such a difficult day.  A DVD will be made available soon. ***  Look for Peace Hour 2012 date to be set soon. ***

We will be making a beautiful collage of harpists all over the world playing at Peace Hour.  This DVD will be a token of thanks to all the harpists and harpers who would like a souvenir of this precious and wonderful occasion.  

We would love to hear all your Peace Hour Stories, and also any press cuttings or publicity.  We will gladly share them here on the website.

Love to each and every one of you,
