Since 1984, the Rencontres Internationales de Harpes Celtiques have been a showcase for everything that concerns the small harp. The event brings together both professional and amateur harpists, instrument makers, trainees and teachers to build a festival that is unique unto itself.
The festival celebrates every phase of harp creation in all its diversity, and there is room for everybody here, regardless of fame or status. The festival bears the worthy motto, “tradition & creation”, two principles which harmonise perfectly with the ethos of Camac.
As such, we are delighted to have a strong presence at the festival, where our instruments can be tried and played upon by all comers. Aside from our exhibition, this season’s guest stars include Woodlands and Lauren Scott
For information and tickets, and to discover the entire programme on offer, please visit the festival website.
We look forward to seeing you there!

The Festival interceltique de Lorient takes place annually, and is one of the most important events of its kind. A completely multidisciplinary event, the richness of Celtic music, dance as well as all manner of traditional artists and artisans are celebrated in a convivial atmosphere.
As one of the most revered instruments of Celtic culture, the harp is at the heart of the event, and as the festival reaches its height, we have enormous pride in presenting the Camac Celtic Harp Trophy.
The grand prize is a magnificent Camac Aziliz Harp, in addition to numerous cash prizes. The festival is open to all Celtic harpists, without age limit. Click here to download competition regulations and full details of how to enter.
