“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 warmly invite you to an inspiring evening with a unique trio that breathes new life into the spirit of Mouez Breiz, Brittany’s pioneering record label of the 1950s. Once a symbol of cultural revival, Mouez Breiz captured Brittany’s rich musical heritage through raw, pioneering recordings.
Having thoroughly explored archival sources, this trio reimagines that legacy, blending traditional sounds with free improvisation and original composition.
The artists sample, dissect, and reimagine old recordings, weaving a rich, organic tapestry of sound that bridges past and present. They challenge conventions and create an unexpected sonic journey, paying homage to the artists of the original catalogue.
Join us for a concert that celebrates the past and explores the vibrant possibilities of Breton music today.
Pierre Stephan : Violon / Electronique
Nikolaz Cadoret : Harpe électrique / Effets
Gildas Etevenard : Batterie / Percussions

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.
Joining Catrin will the exceptional Aoife Ní Bhriain, one of Ireland’s foremost traditional fiddle players and a classical violinist of international stature who commands both the classical world and her Irish traditional heritage.
As a duo, Finch and Ní Bhriain display fizzing musical chemistry, and create a spellbinding dialogue on stage. They seamlessly combine traditional and contemporary elements in a true musical synergy, ever inspired by the cultures of their home countries.
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.

SALLE CORTOT
78 rue Cardinet 75017 ParisJuliette Hurel and Isabelle Moretti present an inspired programme of French music for flute and harp, combining essential masterpieces with lesser-known works. From Fauré’s intensely lyrical lines to Debussy’s interplay of timbres and resonances, and on to the subtle, finely crafted writing of Jean Cras, this recital highlights the virtuosity and expressive richness of a duo of great stylistic finesse.

We are delighted to welcome an exceptional harpist to the Espace Camac, who will share her experience and artistic perspective with a select group of students.
A renowned harpist and highly respected teacher, Françoise de Maubus received the highest honours in harp and chamber music at the Paris Conservatoire. She subsequently held the post of principal harpist with the Orchestre Lamoureux, collaborating regularly with major international orchestras and some of the most prestigious conductors.
An accomplished performer, equally committed to playing period instruments and chamber music, she has developed a special affinity for the 20th-century French repertoire, which she enjoys enriching through dialogues with literature and other art forms. Her commitment to teaching, recognised for many years, has led her to teach at the conservatoires of the Ville de Paris and then at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Versailles, whilst regularly serving on the juries of national and international competitions.
This masterclass offers a rare opportunity to benefit from her expertise in an exclusive setting.
The masterclass will take place 10 AM – 6PM.
Note: Places for participants are very limited.
To register, please contact Pierre Le Levier by email to book your place: [email protected]
Françoise de Maubus
Born into a family environment steeped in literature and music, Françoise de Maubus developed a dual vocation as a musician and teacher from a very early age. Trained by Jacqueline Borot and Gérard Devos, she was awarded first prizes in harp and chamber music at the Paris Conservatoire in 1990. Her meeting with Leonard Bernstein in 1987 marked a decisive turning point and fuelled her commitment to orchestral performance.
In 1995, she was appointed principal harpist of the Orchestre Lamoureux. She performs regularly with major international ensembles, including the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Sir Simon Rattle and Seiji Ozawa. She also collaborates with ensembles specialising in period instruments, such as Les Musiciens du Louvre, Les Siècles and Le Cercle de l’Harmonie.
Alongside her concert career, she is passionately dedicated to teaching. A holder of the Certificat d’aptitude, she taught successively at the conservatoires of the City of Paris and then at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Versailles. She is regularly invited to sit on the juries of international competitions and to give masterclasses.
