THE SOCIETY AND THE BOARD

A new website for the 20th anniversary. The International Jew’s Harp Society (IJHS) was formed at the 3rd International Jew’s Harp Congress in 1998 in Molln (Austria), with the aim of bringing together as many of the enthusiasts for the instrument as possible.

Not only does it organize international festivals and congresses that involve players, makers and researchers from around the globe, but also publishes an increasingly acknowledged Journal and newsletters.

This new IJHS website was launched with the purpose to bring together the ever-expanding international community and to disseminate knowledge about jew's harp and its heritage.
