Uma harpa Nacional 2015 - “A nacional harp 2015” is the name of the Crowdfunding created on the platform PPL where Benedita and Mariana Portugal work with the goal of funding an harp for Benedita's studies, making the life of the “little” harpist a little easier.
.The project "A national harp 2015" is more than saving money for a purpose; It is a landmark of a new routine, a hope to make the present happen and opens the way to the future. Since 2013, when Benedita Portugal entered Porto's Music Conservatory (CMP), the harpist studies almost every day in the harp room of CMP. When she acquires her own instrument, she will be able to have a simpler life. For now, Benedita Portugal will have to keep "working" so she can maintain her extremely productive scholar and musical results.
