World Harp Day Milano

I​n the year ​1720,​ European harp-maker Jacob Hochbrucker ​invented​ the pedal mechanism. This is a significant moment in harp history, which brings Concert Grand Harp on stage. Various forms of early-harp prototypes can be found throughout ​the history of most countries​. These instruments relate deeply to the ​unique identity​ ​of​ ​each culture​. Yet our common qualities should evoke a sense of connection and harmony​ that reminds everyone of the importance of building a ​stereotypes-free society​ where neither music nor people are limited in self-expression.The ​main goal​ of the World Harp Day is to create a fertile ground for cultural dialogue: this new tradition shall become a​ reminder of peace and unity​ to all countries, and a source of inspiration for the development of the harp as a diplomatic symbol of art, health, and solidarity in addition to a magnificent musical instrument.
