We warmly invite you to join us for a special musical celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, with not one but two unmissable concerts at the Espace Camac on Friday, March 20.
First, at 6:30 p.m., we are delighted to welcome the duo Est en Ouest – Rencontre entre deux musiciens (Florence de Faucher, harp and vocals, and Éric Brongniart on Irish flute), who share a passion for traditional music. Head west for this concert to discover Irish music. A story that naturally begins with the baroque compositions of harpist Turlough O’Carolan, followed by songs evoking the turbulent history of the Emerald Isle, and of course, a dive into the repertoire of Irish sessions that enliven pubs around the world: jigs, reels, slides, hornpipes, polkas… Slàinte!
At 8 p.m., we will have the opportunity to enjoy the exceptional combination of the Celtic harp and uilleann pipes: Quentin Vestur and Glenn Gouthe present a wealth of traditional music from Ireland, Brittany, and Scotland, ranging from slow tunes to lively dances, as well as ancient and recently composed melodies.
The rare combination of uilleann pipes and Celtic harp led these two musicians to seek a meaningful dialogue between the instruments. They offer music that moves between elaborate arrangements and the compelling simplicity of traditional music, always delivering both energy and finesse.
Your reservation entitles you to two concerts for the price of one.
Reservations required; Book your places here
Adults: €10 / Under 18s: €5 / Under 12s: free

“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.

We are delighted to be returning to Cracow for the 5th Cracow Harp Days, a festival weekend we have proudly sponsored since 2010. It all takes place thanks to the vision of Agnieszka Grela-Fedkowicz, harp professor at Cracow’s Szkoła Muzyczna I i II stopnia im. Bronisława Rutkowskiego.
It is always a joyful meeting between international and Polish harpists, students and stars, and friends old and new. We also host a harp exhibition and offer free regulation of Camac Harps throughout the weekend.
The 5th Cracow Harp Days will now take place between May 9-10, 2026, with guest artists Catrin Finch, Veronika Lemishenko and Alexander Rider.
Each artist will offer their own unique artistry on stage, with an array of styles and colours as well as sharing wisdom and experience with the rising generation in masterclasses and workshops.
The Cracow Harp Days can be contacted via their Facebook or Instagram pages.
Harp regulation enquiries: Marta Mogielnicka, MyHarp.

Collegium21 is a unique musical and educational event in the world of the harp. Its aim is to promote the harp music of today by encouraging exchange between composers and young harpists. Organized in two stages, it offers harpists of all levels the opportunity to discover contemporary compositions through a series of masterclasses led by guest composers. This is followed, a fortnight later, by a competition whose program consists largely of the works studied during the masterclasses, videos of which are available on the event’s website.
Launched in 2016 by Ghislaine Petit-Volta, Collegium21 is supported by the association Les signes de l’arc, under the joint artistic direction of Ghislaine Petit-Volta and Laurence Bancaud.
The sixth edition will take place in 2026 at the Conservatoire C.R.R. in Paris: masterclasses on May 30 and 31 and the competition on June 13 and 14.
All information is available on the competition website.
