A harp for Stefania
Why a fundraising campaing
Hello everyone,
I decided to launch this fundraising campaign as I reached a turning point in my career as a harpist and I need to change my instrument, to buy a new harp. The instrument with which I have been studying and working for years is a “student harp” – also quite old- and is no longer able to sustain the level of my performances and my musical research. The instrument I would like to buy costs around 27,000 euros, a very demanding sum for an artist at the beginning of his career.
For this reason I ask for the help of the people who are reading these words, with the aim of reaching about the half of this amount, which would already be an enormous and precious help for me.
I really thank everyone who will put even a small brick to build this great dream!
I am grateful to Life, every day, for the possibilities it gives me, for the people it makes me meet and to instill in me the necessary willpower, despite the daily adversities, to remain firm and strong in this bright and enriching road that is Music.
Heartfelt thanks!
Grazie!
