\"Atlantide<\/a>The Sixth International Harp Competition in Szeged<\/a>, Hungary, has reached its conclusion and it is our happy task to tell you how it went.\u00a0<\/p>\n

55 candidates travelled through the cold winter to the warm welcome awaiting them at Szeged’s Re\u00f6k Palace<\/a>. The competition offers three age categories: U14, U19 and U25, and we proudly supply the harps. Juniors compete in one round, U19s in two rounds and seniors in three; as for the repertoire, a composer per category is highlighted to explore, without imposing a prohibitive quantity of set works. 2022 was the turn of the great Hungarian composer and pedagogue Zolt\u00e1n Kod\u00e1ly, and one of the harp’s most important composers and teachers, Alphonse Hasselmans. The opening ceremony features a concert by the previous competition’s winner – this year, we could applaud Tatiana Repnikova – and a masterclass is also provided for candidates who do not ultimately find themselves in the final stage. All in all, it is a great way to begin and develop competing at international level.\u00a0<\/p>\n
