Harpes au Max returns for its fourth edition, organised by the Communauté de communes du Pays d’Ancenis, the town of Ancenis-Saint-Géréon and Camac Harps! There is truly something for every musical taste and an unmissable opportunity for music and togetherness in the heart of the region we call home.
What exciting plans await in 2025? There is nearly too much to list!
Exciting performances will include jazz from eminent artists like Evelyn Huber and Rossitsza Milevska, the unique duo of Noemi von Felten and singer, Stephen Eicher, Venezuelan music from Raider Alvarado (llanera harp) and his trio, Horizontes. There will also be cross-cultural events featuring harp and dance (with Sarah Vaumourin), harp and circus ((Telenn Phare Company accompanied by Christine and Thierry Lutz), and harp and recitation ( Philippe Mathé, actor-reader, and François Pernel, harpist). On the classical side, contributions will come from the harp sextet, Hexarpa, recitals by the rising generation of French harpists (Rose Pollier- Meliodon and Anne- Sophie Pannetier), and an unmissable journey through fairytales and darker stories with Sylvain Blassel, the Quatuor Liger, and Philippe Mathé.

The seventh edition of the International Harp Competition in Szeged, Hungary, will take place between November 19 – November 23 , 2025. There are three competition categories: 14 and under, 19 and under and 25 and under, and the competition always celebrates a Hungarian composer and a major harp repertoire composer. For the seventh edition, the event will celebrate two significant anniversaries: the 150th anniversary of the births of Henriette Renié and Maurice Ravel (both born in 1875), and the 50th anniversary of the passing of Marcel Grandjany (who died in 1975).
Their compositions have been included as set pieces in the program, alongside works by two Hungarian composers, reflecting the competition’s ongoing mission to support and promote Hungarian music.
Comprehensive information about rules, prizes, programmes and deadlines are available here on the competition’s webpage. You’ll also find the entry form, including upload details for the video preliminary round. The closing date for applications is September 15, 2025.
