From Harpo's Harp to the Galilee: Adina Haroz on Walking Three Years to Her Dream

What would you do if you wanted to learn harp — but there was only one teacher in your entire country, and she told you you were too old? This week on the Strings of Hope Podcast, I’m sharing my conversation with Adina Haroz — one of Israel’s celebrated harpists, and my very first harp teacher. Adina grew up in Israel at a time when you could count all the harpists in the country on two hands. After losing her father in war, music became her family’s way of keeping his memory alive. When she chose the harp, there were two problems: no teacher would take her — and there wasn’t even a harp to play. Then something extraordinary happened. Harpo Marx’s wife donated one of Harpo’s harps to a museum in Israel. For three years, Adina walked every day to that museum — rain or shine, every day except Shabbat — to practice on Harpo’s harp. It was a long walk, but still walkable. And she did it. Every single day. What happened next changed the course of harp in Israel. In this conversation, we talk about: * Following one’s passion and turning dreams into reality * Learning through mistakes — and finding beauty in them * Balancing motherhood and family with life as a professional musician * Teaching students of all religions in the Galilee * Why she’s learning Arabic at this stage of her career * What keeps her passionate about teaching after all these years * Leaving room for “what if…” and improvisation in life This is a story about dedication. About refusing to let “no” be the final answer. And about how one person’s persistence can open doors for an entire generation. 🎧 ADINA’S MUSIC: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7iYrh7z7NSyZnUtcn6MSWQ [https://open.spotify.com/artist/7iYrh7z7NSyZnUtcn6MSWQ] 🎙️ ABOUT THE STRINGS OF HOPE PODCAST Conversations with harpists, harp builders, and music artists from around the world — exploring their life stories, challenges, and what helped them keep going when the path wasn’t clear. ❤️ SUPPORT THE PODCAST Leave a review, share the episode, or buy me a tea ☕ https://buymeacoffee.com/stringsofhope [https://buymeacoffee.com/stringsofhope] 📬 CONNECT Instagram: https://instagram.com/stringsofhope [https://instagram.com/stringsofhope] Newsletter: https://strings-of-hope.kit.com/33ad9fc1d4 [https://strings-of-hope.kit.com/33ad9fc1d4] 🎓 STRINGS OF HOPE MEMBERSHIP Launching January 2026 — join the waitlist: https://strings-of-hope.kit.com/6f57b3b825 [https://strings-of-hope.kit.com/6f57b3b825] A note from me: Adina was my first harp teacher.

That kind of dedication changes lives. Till next time — stay tuned 🎶 Simcha

Frome Notes to Nuance: Sunita Staneslow’s Harp Story: A Journey Through Music, Heart, Improvisation and beauty of simplicity

In this first episode of the Strings of Hope podcast, I’m excited to share a heartfelt conversation with the harpist who first inspired my own harping journey—Sunita Staneslow. Sunita’s Songs on the Psalms was the very first music I discovered when I began learning the harp, and her unique style—marked by simplicity, depth, and grace—continues to influence my compositions and approach today.We explore her rich musical path, from classical training at the Manhattan School of Music, to learning how to improvise, to busking around the world with her harp and husband. Sunita opens up about her process of improvisation, embracing musical simplicity, and teaching in a way that helps harpists connect with their own inner voice. She has published numerous harp books, recorded beautiful solo and collaborative albums, and teaches at workshops and retreats around the world—inviting students into a deeper, more intuitive relationship with their music. Whether you're a harpist, improviser, or lover of creative journeys, this episode is full of stories, wisdom, and inspiration. 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe for more harp-centered conversations and soulful musical stories.— 🔗 Learn more about Sunita Staneslow 🌍 Website & Harp Retreats: https://hamars.uk/ 🎶 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0gxL0sTJWeGNrOJwgN3I0m?si=oRB17RVnRaaR0CTOsUuU7w— 💌 Join the Strings of Hope newsletter Get free harp resources, podcast updates, and creative inspiration: https://bit.ly/StringsOfHope-SignUP [https://bit.ly/StringsOfHope-SignUP]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
