Harp for Children

Many, many years ago, I met a group of Japanese children at the airport in Amsterdam. They were returning from a tour of Europe, each of them dragging a tiny harp behind them. I had a dream that Polish children would be able to go on a journey like that someday. Harp for children opens up a world of beauty, adventure, the joy of playing together and the gift of making others happy.

It’s still not so simple in Poland. You can only learn the harp in a handful of cities. There’s a lack of teachers and instruments. Thousands of children have no idea that you can dream about the harp, and that playing it is so simple. Fortunately for me, I found a place and a group of enthusiasts to make my dreams come true. At the K. Kurpiński Music School in Warsaw, we founded the “Harp for Children” Association and the harp group “Wiktorska Harps Open”.

We’ve played a number of concerts already – most recently with 16 harps. We want to invite young harpists from all over Poland to Warsaw for a joint concert once a year. We would like to visit other cities and other countries with harps, to play concerts with our peers. We play wherever we are invited to go. Support us however you can, and our harps will brighten up your world.
