The New Argentine Harp School organizes the Buenos Aires Harp Week (Semana del Arpa de Buenos Aires) annually, usually in the month of September, and it is its main event, although of course not the only one.

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, many of its activities also began to be implemented in online format, which led to the surprising number of 45 participants from all over the country and from 7 foreign countries, in the 6th.

Since then, in addition to execution, a central space for composition has been incorporated, giving visibility and recognition to composers both national and abroad, including Esteban Benzecry, María Suárez, Martín Matalón, Claudia Montero and Alex Nante.

The event brings together students of different levels and experiences, from beginners to advanced and young professionals, for an intensive week of training, study and improvement, either in the modalities as active or as listeners.
