\"North<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We will be back in North London for the annual competitions we have sponsored in the capital for over a decade. This event provides competition experience in a supportive atmosphere, for harpists living and\/or studying in the UK and Ireland, and with classes from beginner level to young professional.\u00a0Our collaboration with the excellent London music and literary festival, the Proms at St Jude’s<\/a>, continues; a lunchtime recital will be offered to the winner of the U30 Camac prize.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A big thank-you in advance also goes to 2020’s jurors: Caryl Thomas, Head of Harp Studies at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama<\/a>, and<\/span>\u00a0Sally Pryce, Principal Harp with the Aurora Orchestra<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2020 is a special year for the North London Festival – it’s their centenary<\/a>! The celebrations will start with a concert in the Rosslyn Hill Chapel, in the early evening on Friday 15th November. First and second prize-winners from 2019, Claudia Lamanna and Mared Pugh-Evans, will be performing, so Camac AR already booked their tickets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Regional festivals do not attract the same media attention as the international competitions. But their contribution is invaluable: the experience they provide is what helps candidates get ready for the big contests. It is the same with local music schools: good teaching here gives conservatoire professors the stars of tomorrow to teach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The NLF website is in the process of being updated for 2020. If you’d like to receive an email once the entry form is active, please contact Helen Leitner<\/a> and we’ll put you on our list!\u00a0<\/p>\n
