Regular readers of our communications won\u2019t have missed the fact we just came back from the second edition of Harpes au Max<\/a>. This harp-tastic long weekend takes place throughout the Pays d\u2019Ancenis, our home part of Brittany.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many harp events are organised by harpists, for harpists. Every specialist field needs specialist activity, but music is silent without somebody to listen to it. Harpes au Max is unusual because it exists for the regional general public: for our colleagues in Mouzeil, their families, their friends living nearby, for further residents, and as a tourist attraction. It isn\u2019t organised by us. Our President, Jakez Fran\u00e7ois, is the artistic director, but all the logistics – for no fewer than 75 harpists and their harps – are masterminded by the Communaut\u00e9 de communes du Pays d\u2019Ancenis (COMPA)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To what extent a cultural event is publicly-organised varies from country to country. One thing is sure: this is almost never done for the harp. The confidence and the enthusiasm of the COMPA for our instruments and the artists who play them is a wonderful defence of the harp’s suitability for the musical mainstream.\u00a0<\/p>\n
