Last October, we were happy to be part of\u00a0the official launch of the Antologiezh Telenn Breizh<\/a> – the Breton Harp Anthology, three volumes edited by Tristan Le Govic.<\/p>\n

This launch was organised by Collectif Arp<\/a>. This ensemble was born in 2014, when\u00a0Alice Soria-Cadoret<\/a>, Nikolaz Cadoret<\/a>, Cristine M\u00e9rienne<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Clotilde Trouillaud<\/a>\u00a0realised that they were often engaging with similar issues.<\/p>\n

“Alice and Nikolaz already worked together, then Alice and Christine went on tour together, and Christine and I were always discussing\u00a0our work –\u00a0as players, producers, managers and also looking after all our\u00a0PR…given that we were all doing similar things, and had a shared\u00a0vision for the development of our instrument and its repertoire, the four of us decided to found Collectif Arp”, Clotilde Trouillaud explains.<\/p>\n

It was also during the summer of 2014 that\u00a0Tristan Le Govic<\/a>\u00a0returned from living in Scotland to Brittany, and moved in not far from Clotilde. “So we had a fifth person with whom we were also having the same conversations, and it was clear to everyone that Tristan should also join the Collectif. Since then, we have three harpists in the Finist\u00e8re region of Brittany, and two in Morbihan.”<\/p>\n

It is not so easy\u00a0for artists to get to know each other, and to become\u00a0well-connected in their\u00a0scene. It takes a lot of time and energy. The Collectif Arp’s fundamental principle, therefore, is that you are stronger, together! They help\u00a0promote each other’s concerts, and can also show more, differing\u00a0facets of their instrument. The latter also fundamentally underpins the group.\u00a0“We were motivated to work together by the sheer diversity of performances that we were offering with one thing in common – the harp!”, Clotilde explains. “We have different musical backgrounds: traditional music, composed music, music for young people, French chanson…and we play\u00a0different harps: lever, pedal, acoustic, electric. So this is about expressing our instrument’s rich identity, and to combine forces to spread the word\u00a0about our projects.”<\/p>\n

Tristan also stresses this important aspect of collaboration in an article about Collectif Arp on his\u00a0excellent blog<\/a>.\u00a0“Though the harp is a common denominator; the love of music lies at the heart of their art, before the instrument, and is skillfully expressed in many forms: acoustic, electric, contemporary, classical, traditional, improvised… a little something for everyone.<\/p>\n

The Five aim to promote the multi-faceted nature of their music by sharing their experience, enthusiasm and time. Their watchword: to give more visibility to an instrument that is still quiet on today\u2019s music scene by opening up new horizons and other artistic and musical networks. These harpists are artists first and foremost, whose music breaks preconceptions and reasserts the versatile qualities of the harp.”<\/p>\n

On their flyer<\/a>, you can see just how diverse Collectif Arp’s\u00a0offerings are. To name but a few, there\u00a0is Duo Descofar<\/a>‘s electric Celtic music; traditional music by Tristan Le Govic; original compositions\u00a0by Clotilde\u00a0Trouillaud; Cristine M\u00e9rienne’s songs; and the free improvisation of Fack Ze Dirty Cut (Nikolaz Cadoret and H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Breschand). You can explore this wealth of music through the clips on the Collectif’s SoundCloud page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"JeanJeanne<\/a>In 2016, Collectif Arp will create two new things. The Lune Bleue (Blue Moon) Trio sees Clotilde join forces with e-guitarist Erwan B\u00e9renguer, and drummer Jean-Marie St\u00e9phant. Currently in rehearsals, the world\u00a0premiere will be on January 15th 2016, at the Centre Culturel Amzer Nevez \u00e0 Ploemeur (9PM). The second premiere is Ulyssia, conceived by JeanJeanne\u00a0(Cristine Merienne, Nikolaz Cadoret, Alice Soria-Cadoret and Yvon Molard), and successfully crowdfunded<\/a> recently. To discover the show, go to Chartres de Bretagne<\/a> on January 29th, also at 9PM!<\/p>\n

One of Collectif Arp’s great trump cards is that all its members are very good teachers, as well as very good\u00a0musicians. Student harpists have the chance to benefit from various courses organised by the collective. One of these\u00a0took place during the Anthology’s launch in Carhaix (led by Alice Soria-Cadoret and Quentin Vestur), following a three-day course in Douarnenez last August. These were the first in a long series of courses, for the collective has decided to organise one a\u00a0month either in Finist\u00e8re, or in Morbihan. The next will be on December 13th in Relecq-Kerhuon, taught by Nikolaz and Clotilde. If you are interested, a couple of places are left, but – book fast!<\/p>\n

After this, there will be courses in Bubry (January 10th with Alice and Cristine), in Quimper (February 7th with Tristan and Clotilde), Bubry again on March 6th (Clotilde and Quentin Vestur), in Douarnenez on April 3rd with Cristine and Alice, back in Bubry on May 1st with Nikolaz and Tristan, and in Brest on June 5th, with Alice and Nikolaz.<\/p>\n

Whether you live around Brest, or you’re coming specially for the course on December 13th, you can take advantage of your location to hear\u00a0Alice and Clotilde in concert. They will be playing a pre-dinner concert on Saturday, December 12th, at the Coin de la Rue in Brest –\u00a0on\u00a0respectively a\u00a0classical harp and a Celtic harp.<\/p>\n
