Happy New Year! The Camac team wish you all the very best for 2022 – may it bring us all joy, success and good health.
Our YouTube concerts, Les Jeudis de la Harpe, are back online this January 6th at 19:30 CET. Entirely free of charge, all you need to do is log on at the appointed hour and enjoy the music.
We’re delighted to welcome harpist and singer-songwriter Pia Salvia, with her husband the percussionist Noam Israeli. It’s a speedy return to the Camac stage for them, after a wonderful performance at our recent festival in Nice. We’re looking forward to music from Pia’s latest album, Blissful Sigh, together with beautiful covers of Bill Withers, Richard Rodgers, Charles Aznavour…and Britney Spears!

The 4th series of Les Jeudis de la Harpe concludes in style with a great young modern trad duo, from our home region of Brittany.
Klervi Rouyer (Celtic harp) and Malo Ar Gall (wooden flute) both began playing traditional Breton music as small children. Klervi started the harp at the age of 5, while Malo began his musical life playing the bagpipes in a band in the northern Finistère region. Both also went to Breton-medium schools (Diwan), before continuing at the Brest Conservatoire of Music.
Klervi, now studying traditional music in Rennes, is the first prize winner of our “Dasson an Delenn” (“The resonance of the harp”) Breton music competition, which last took place in 2019. You can read about that here on the Camac blog.
On our programme: original compositions, Irish and Breton trad, for both solo harp and Klervi and Malo’s duo. You’re going to love it!
