Michelle Chow loves the harp. Although one of the world’s first musical instruments, with popularity peaks in ancient Mesopotamia as well as in the 18th century French court, its popularity has successively weakened over time, with some members of the harp family being lost along the way. So, together with some friends, Michelle Chow set up a charity in Hong Kong a decade ago to support the tradition. Today, dozens of children – mostly from underprivileged backgrounds – learn to play the harp each year under the wings of the ‘Friends of the Harp’. The charity finances teachers, concerts and even the training of harp technicians.
