We are delighted to announce the next edition of the Félix Godefroid International Harp Competition, which will be held in Tournai (Belgium) from April 29 to May 3, 2026.
This competition is open to both young harpists and advanced students, and, as in previous editions, will welcome many young artists from around the world. All the rounds are open to the public and free of charge: a wonderful opportunity to spend a few days immersed in the world of the harp, sharing musical moments and making wonderful encounters.
Alongside the competition, there will be concerts, a lecture dedicated to Félix Godefroid, masterclasses, and guided tours of the beautiful city of Tournai.
A true harp festival awaits you!
Tournai offers many affordable accommodation options, including the youth hostel, located right next to the conservatory.
Don’t wait too long to plan your stay!
We hope to see many of you in Tournai to share this new edition of the competition in a musical and friendly atmosphere!

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.
