The New Argentinean Harp School organizes the Buenos Aires Harp Week (La Semana del Arpa de Buenos Aires) annually, usually around September/October, and it is its main event, although of course not the only one. It actually began timidly a few years before it was officially known by that name, until it became the main annual pedagogical-didactic harp event in South America.

These pedagogical-didactic activities –usually in the format of group masterclasses– take place at the headquarters of the New Argentinean Harp School in Buenos Aires city and also online through Zoom plataform, along with a series of interviews with great harp masters throughout the world called “MyStory / MiHistoria”. Concerts and special events are public and free and have been hosted by the Department of Musical and Sound Arts of the National University of the Arts and by the Roca Museum -Institute of Historical Research in the Recoleta neighborhood in past editions.

Prominent international harp professionals have been invited since its inception to share their expertise and point of view on the teaching and performance of the instrument. Just to name a few, the great Marielle Nordmann, legend in the history of the instrument and mentor of Maestro Oscar Rodríguez Do Campo, Mexican professors Santiago Di Morales, Angel Padilla Crespo, Maryen González and Baltazar Juárez have offered masterclasses and or offered concertos. Also have joined other professors and soloists such as Anna Loro (ITA), Anna Makarova (RUS), Sasha Boldachev (RUS), Rita Costanzi (USA), María Luisa Rayán (USA/ARG), Lenka Petrovic (SRB), Primor Sluchin (BEL), Agnés Berard (FRA), Marcelo Penido (BRA), Suelem Sampaio (BRA), Elisabeth Plank (AUT), Stephen Fitzpatrick (AUT), Sivan Magen (ISR), Heaven Fan (USA), Benjamin Creighton (UK), Anne-Sophie Bertrand (FRA), Tjasha Gafner (SUI), Megan Sesma (USA), Tasha Smith Godinez (USA), Anne Sophie-Bertrand (FRA) and Glaucia Castilhos (BRA) to mention just a few.

Many other teachers, professors and soloists from the Argentine Republic have offered countless workshops, concerts and presentations, such as Soledad Yaya, Arianna Ruiz Cheylat, Alina Traine, Mercedes Bralo Cisternas, Marcela Méndez, Lucrecia Jancsa, Tiziana Todoroff (RIP), Gabriela González Czerednikow, Carolina Varvará, Mara Diniello, Malen Cardoso, Felipe Martini, Gabriela Russo, Adriana Roca (all of them current or former students of Maestro Rodríguez Do Campo) and Mariela de Caro among many others.

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, many of its activities also began to be implemented online, which led to the surprising number of more than 120 participants joining from all over the world. Since then, also a focus on composition has been targeted and fostered, giving visibility and (even more) recognition to composers from Argentina and abroad, including Esteban Benzecry, María Suárez, Martín Matalón, Claudia Montero and Alex Nante among so many others.

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 technique improvement, both as active participants or as listeners.

Its size, prestige and renown have been growing and consolidating over the years, but it maintains its focus on the teaching and learning processes, in an environment of camaraderie where the values ​​of community and cooperation are fostered and promoted.
