In-person concerts offer harpists a stage to showcase their innovative contributions, directly connecting with audiences. Designing and delivering these performances challenges them to engage clearly and offer a combination of tradition with modernity that leaves attendees eager to return and become a loyal audience.
At Tierra 47 — ‘The Land of the 47 Strings’ — we honor this legacy.
Yet, our innovation comes from a modern twist: we use the classical pedal harp — the very instrument that forms the backbone of today's modern classical sets — to bring a contemporary edge to our music. Our skilled harpists channel the rich local harp culture, adapting the refined sound of the classical pedal harp to create fresh, innovative ‘making music’ proposals. In doing so, we not only preserve deep-rooted traditions but also set the stage for the evolving musical narrative of our time.
Tierra 47/OAcademy partnership
Tierra 47 Scholarships currently support four advanced Mexican harp students and one Latin American harpist who otherwise might not have the opportunity to study abroad.

Harp Ensembles
Enarpa is a project by Tierra 47 that offers girls from Mexico, especially those from unstable family environments, the opportunity to create music. The project aims to strengthen their resilience, helping them reintegrate into their communities through a creative activity.
The vulnerability of girls and adolescents is deeply connected to factors such as:
- Economic deficiencies within the family unit
- Lack of awareness of laws and rights
- Insufficient educational and training programs, both inside and outside the school environment
- Loss of values and family disintegration
"In Mexico, more than 1 million children have lost parental care. Factors such as domestic and gender-based violence, malnutrition, poverty, commercial sexual exploitation, drug trafficking, drug use, and migration, among others, put children and their families in a situation of greater vulnerability."
Tierra 47 addresses these challenges by creating harp ensembles with girls who have experienced different forms of adversity. Through music, these girls can regain and develop skills that allow them to grow in a safe environment and acquire competencies such as discipline, teamwork, problem-solving, self-esteem, and a sense of belonging — preparing them for a fulfilling adult life.
How It Works
Each of our Tierra 47 harpists meets weekly with one or more girls who want to be part of the Enarpa program, to play the harp and make music together.
• At monthly check-in meetings, our harpists share progress, get support, and learn useful tools to help them in their work.
• When a group is ready, with appropriate permissions, the harpist can record a casual and informal video of the girls playing, involving the children in the process.
• Tierra 47 collects and edits these videos, and each year on October 11 — UN International Day of the Girl Child — we distribute them on social media to showcase to the world the amazing achievements of girls.
Enarpa is much more than just a musical ensemble — it is a space of personal and collective transformation for girls facing adversity. Through music, they are given a unique opportunity to discover their talents, rebuild their self-esteem, and develop the skills needed for a promising future.

HARP.BUSINESS.FUTURE
New Horizons is a 4-day intensive program designed to help harpists unlock new avenues to showcase their talents in meaningful, profitable ways.
Most Mexican harpists do not know how to start a fulfilling music business that gives them financial stability — because they’ve never been shown!
That’s why we created the New Horizons program. Using four simple steps, harpists learn to create a profitable product or service, and take concrete actions to market it, so they can start generating income quickly — and then replicate the model with other ideas!
The four‐step framework of the New Horizons program is:
- Design your product or service
- Communicate your message clearly
- Implement and monetize
- Engage your audience consistently
How It Works:
- New Horizons is a live on-line programme.
- Over 4 consecutive days, you get structured guidance on each of the four steps — Design, Communicate, Implement and Engage. (If you cannot attend live, you will have access to recordings for six months.)
- You also have one private 1:1 coaching session with Maryen Munoz to review and receive personalised feedback about the product or service you’ve designed.
- Sessions are in Spanish and include some English when a native English speaking star guest jumps in!
New Horizons enables harpists to design and create a fulfilling, prosperous career — leading to a thriving life of music, financial stability, and creative freedom.

Performances
The Live Concerts showcase is designed to create an unforgettable experience for the audience while providing harpists with a platform to present innovative and engaging performances. These concerts are not just about playing music — they are about delivering a compelling artistic proposal that engages clearly with the audience, offering an experience that leaves attendees eager to return.
How It Works:
These Live Concerts are for harpists with an artistic vision that enhances how the audience connects with their music. We look for participants who can design performances that engage and entertain — transforming concerts into immersive experiences that resonate with listeners.
- Harpists reach out to Maryén, and arrange to meet to pitch their proposal.
- Successful harpists have the opportunity to play in two concerts a year with locations in:
- United Kingdom
- Mexico
Join us in elevating live harp performances — where artistry meets audience engagement to create truly remarkable life experiences!
