In addition to competing in the awards, participants had the opportunity to join the International Harp Orchestra under the direction and baton of Katryna Tan. This year, the International Harp Orchestra showcased 120 young harpists! Their gala performance coincided with Singapore’s National Day (9 August). Participants in the International Harp Orchestra also took part in the Prestige academy 2024, where they strengthened their bond and learning with masterclasses and workshops (with artists such as Şirin Pancaroğlu )
Between the awards, the international Harp Orchestra and the Academy, this is truly a wonderful feat of organisation- we can’t wait to see what you do next!
