Trio Jenlis is a family of musicians: Belgian harpist Héloïse De Jenlis, her sister Mathilde (violin), and her brother Axel (cello). Together, they are bringing this lovely chamber music combination to wider audiences.
We’re happy to announce that one of these wider audiences will be…us!, coming up this week on YouTube. Trio Jenlis will perform a varied programme of their own arrangements of well-loved classics, original repertoire for the ensemble, and a movement from one of their commissions: Karol Beffa’s Soleil Noir.
Speaking of videos: French speakers can enjoy this presentation of Trio Jenlis on Belgium’s Musiq3. Don’t speak French? Héloïse also has a fantastic YouTube channel of her own. Her video of Debussy’s Deux Arabesques has been viewed over 5 million times, including many a visit by her Camac fanbase.
We’re looking forward to welcoming Héloïse, Mathilde, Axel, and you all to Les Jeudis de la Harpe – this Thursday, June 23, 19:30!

HarpFest VII will take place in Singapore between September 8 – 11, 2022. After the long pandemic, its motto is “Dreams beyond the rainbow”. “We have accompanied so many students in their harp dreams”, says Katryna, “and we are looking forward to accompanying many more, throughout the next twenty years.”
Rave Harps will be joined by their colleagues and co-students from Thailand and Indonesia, and guest artists from Europe too. There will be concert appearances and a masterclass with Isabelle Moretti, and we are delighted to sponsor Rossitza Milevska and Cédric Le Donne’s jazz night. The full programme ranges from harp concertos to harp ensembles, and offers some fantastic active performance opportunities.
Your HarpFest delegate pass gives you access to 6 concerts, 10 masterclasses/workshops, diverse showcases and, we promise you, an unforgettable long weekend in a beautiful setting. Register before the end of May, and enjoy your early bird discount.
