The Concours Martine Géliot will take place from October 31 – November 3, 2019. As ever, we are delighted to be sponsoring this long-established competition, for young talent under the age of 22. The programme is both rigorous and manageable, and a perfect early step into the world of competing at a high level. The competition is organised in memory of the gifted harpist Martine Géliot, who died too young.

Stop four on Camac Germany‘s 2019 tour: Tettnang, all the way to the South-West near the Swiss border. We’re delighted to be working with Simone Patricia Häusler once again! We had a superb weekend with Simone and Nikolaz Cadoret in 2015, and this year, we’ve secured the last free day in Evelyn Huber‘s diary.
Saturday, November 23 is the day: we’ll begin at 10AM in the Musikschule Tettnang, with an exhibition of the latest harps to exit the Camac ateliers. You can also have your Camac harp regulated FREE OF CHARGE by one of our senior technicians.
At 11AM, Evelyn will begin her workshop, on the theme of “Rhythms and World Music”. Few harpists are as well-qualified to explore this subject: from musette to Balkan swing, French chansons to Italian canzone, and a collaboration with the Egyptian Sufi band “Cairo Steps”…Evelyn Huber is one of the busiest and most eclectic harpists on today’s world stages! Her workshop is similarly open – everyone is welcome, from the age of 5 to 99.
German speakers can also read an extensive interview with Evelyn in Camac Germany’s latest newsletter.
In the afternoon from 4 – 5PM, workshop participants who also wish to perform in the closing ensemble concert will have a group rehearsal. And at 7PM, Evelyn Huber and the harp class of the Musikschule Tettnang will perform. There will be new rhythms, there will be world music, there will be improvisation – and there will be some surprises!
Workshop and concert reservations: please email Simone Patricia Häusler.
