As summer fades into the freshness of early Autumn, we will be heading to the beautiful town of Lübeck for a weekend of classes, lessons and workshops with two outstanding harpists. In the magnificent surroundings of this ancient Hanseatic city, a town of magnificent spires, tile roofs and imposing churches, harpists can come and hone their skills under Professors Gesine Dreyer and Manja Smits.
Gesine Dreyer has been harpist at Opera Houses of Kiel and Frankfurt as well freelancing with the major German orchestras. Alongside her work in the orchestra, she has taught in the music academies of Hamburg, Berlin (Hans Eisler) and Lübeck. Manja Smits became the first harpist to receive the Netherlands Music Prize, and studied with such legendary harpists as Vera Dulova and Pierre Jamet. She will be sharing her combined passions for education (she is professor of the conservatoires of Groningen and Zwolle) and repertoire of all kinds.
There will of course be an exhibition of our magnificent harps, available to try and play throughout the duration of the course.
If you wish to participate in the classes or workshops, please send an email by 15 August 2023 to [email protected]

Two exceptional harpists and composers, Deborah Henson-Conant (nominated for a Grammy in the category Best Classical Crossover Album), and Evelyn Huber (ECHO JAZZ award winner), explore the stunning tonal possibilities achieved by two harps (and their creative spirit!), in items for solo, duo and large ensemble.
These two artists share a rich history of collaboration, mutual respect and the total expansion of the horizons of the harp.
Together with the Philharmonie Salzburg under the baton of Elisabeth Fuchs, this will be a performance by two doyennes in the fields of pop and jazz. This concert promises to be a veritable firework display of passion and emotion!
There will be two opportunities to hear them, with concerts on both 7 (at 19.30) and 8 October (at 18.00) at the Salzburg University Great hall, but don’t hesitate to visit the website of the Salzburg Philharmonie for tickets and more information.

Apart from performances by a host of Croatian harp talent, there will be concerts, workshops and masterclasses from international performers including Isabelle Moretti, Noelia Cotuna and Manja Smits.
