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.

For over 15 years, our organisation has been running its Celtic harp competition as part of the Festival Interceltique de Lorient. Once again this year, this unmissable event will take place on Saturday 8 August at 2.30 pm at the Palais des Congrès in Lorient, to celebrate and showcase the richness of traditional Celtic music.
Participants from a wide range of backgrounds will take part and share their talent, musical sensitivity and the fruits of their labour with the audience.
On this occasion, an exhibition of harps will also be on display at the competition venue. We look forward to welcoming you and chatting with you.
Whether you wish to take part in the competition or attend as a spectator, we invite you to contact the festival directly via the following link:
We look forward to seeing you there!
