Held in Serbia every two years, this long-running contest is a fixture of the Balkan harp calendar – and also those of other instruments. Petar Konjović is one of Serbia’s most distinguished twentieth-century musicians, and this extensive competition has been held in his honour by the Association of Music and Ballet Pedagogues of Serbia since 1991.
We have supported the harp section for over a decade, and it is a great opportunity for students, with a broad range of eight categories from young beginners to professionals under the age of twenty-five (born in or after 2001).
🗓 8-10 May 2026
📍Music school “Isidor Bajić”, Novi Sad, Serbia,
🎶 Open to candidates born in or after 2001

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.

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.
