The Collection Hexagone is a series of events organized by Camac to promote the harp in all its forms in the regions of France. We are thrilled to welcome you to a captivating performance by none other than Cécile Corbel.
This artist has carved out a unique and inspired path as a composer, author, Celtic harpist, and singer. Born in Finistère, Brittany, Corbel has released a dozen studio albums with Simon Caby, her partner in life and on stage.
Her taste for the legendary, fantasy, and imaginary cultures has also led her naturally to compose music for films.
She has created several original soundtracks for cinema, including that of the film “Arrietty, The Secret World of Arrietty“ by the iconic Studio Ghibli, which was named Film of the Year in Japan in 2010 and earned her the title of Best Soundtrack of the Year at the Japan Golden Disc Awards, as well as two gold discs, and the French wildlife film ”Terre des Ours” released in 2014.
Come and discover the world of Cécile Corbel on Friday, November 21, 2025, at the church in Blagnac.

Janet Harbison is a legend: born in Dublin, raised in classical and traditional Irish music, she began her musical training on the piano at the age of four, then switched to the harp at thirteen. After studying classical music at Trinity College and the University of Cork, her career as a harpist took off after winning all the major Irish harp competitions and several international prizes between 1979 and 1981.
Among her greatest achievements is undoubtedly the creation of the Belfast Harp Orchestra, an innovative ensemble of young harpists from both communities in Northern Ireland, founded in 1992 and which, a year later, won a Grammy Award for a historic collaboration with The Chieftains. After establishing the Irish Harp Centre in Limerick in 2002, she returned to Northern Ireland in 2016 as a visiting professor of music at the University of Ulster.
Here’s your chance to meet this icon of Irish harp music during a memorable evening of music and tradition that is not to be missed!
New: Camac is a partner of the 1%HARP association.
From now on, every ticket sold at our events will contribute in its entirety to raising funds to create a genuine network of solidarity between harpists around the world… To find out more and give your support, go to: onepercentharp.com

Metz, a city that blends rich history with modern culture, will host a unique and vibrant jazz harp artist from 13-14 December 2025!
The Rossitza Milevska Trio overturns preconceived notions about the harp. With her expressive voice and inventive playing, Rossitza transforms this instrument, often perceived as classical, into a source of rhythm, lyricism and emotion.
Accompanied by Nicolas Luchi’s inspired double bass and Jérôme Achat’s vibrant drumming, she offers a modern and luminous jazz style, where each note becomes an encounter.As with all our Collection Hexagone events, there will be opportunities not only to hear this great artist in concert, but to learn from Rossitza in classes and workshops.
There will also be performances from the rising generation of harpists from the class of Éléonore Courbin-Penard. Of course, there will be an exhibition of our magnificent harps, available to try and play throughout the weekend.

“Dasson an Delenn” is a Celtic harp competition organised by Camac, open to harp students under the age of 21 of all nationalities. It offers them the opportunity to perform in public and in front of a jury, playing a repertoire of music for lever harp (original music, composed or arranged for the harp).
Beyond the competition itself, this event aims to offer students and their teachers a weekend of encounters and promotion of the Celtic harp in a friendly and competitive atmosphere.
The competition is divided into four categories determined by age limits corresponding to progressive levels, from young novice harpists to future professional soloists. There is no minimum age to participate in a category, and participation in several categories is permitted.
Please visit the competition website for regulations and information on how to apply—applications open on 5 January 2026. As places are limited, registrations will be accepted in the order they are received and confirmed by email.
The Dasson an Delenn competition would like to warmly thank the management and staff of the Claude Debussy Conservatory of Music in Saint-Malo for their enthusiastic welcome, harp teacher Anne Le Signor for her valuable advice, the City of Saint-Malo for their support, and our partners Savarez strings, Galli strings, and Ischell microphones.
