Why do we organise OPEN WINDOW?

A unique approach to music

OPEN WINDOW is a unique form of learning. In addition to masterclasses, there are group classes where we cover mindfulness, philosophy and much more. This form of learning is rare - and its impact on performance practice is enormous.

Colony for everyone.

Our colony is open to everyone. Whether you are a pupil/student or a teacher, a professional musician or a harp lover.

BE PART OF THE COLONY

TAKE PART IN OPEN WINDOW – THE HARP RETREAT!

Harp Retreat is a harp colony held at Nowy Dwór near Kraków.

13-23 August 2026

We invite you to take part in this year’s edition of Harp Haven. The main idea is to combine a classical masterclass format with the unique teaching of Rita Costanzi. OPEN WINDOW takes place in the peaceful setting of a countryside manor, where we provide both accommodation and meals.

PRICE: 2600 zł
610 €

We also offer transport for participants arriving from afar – we’ll be happy to pick you up from anywhere in Kraków, including the train station, bus terminal, or airport.

Accommodation will be in shared rooms, matched together with care.

Concerts and additional events

During the course, three concerts will be held: an opening recital by Rita Costanzi, a recital by Adrian Nowak, Mauris Ensemble concert and a final concert featuring the workshop participants. Additional events include breathwork sessions, a vineyard visit, and more.
