Camac Celtic harp trophy, Lorient

Calling all Celtic harpists:  Dominig Bouchaud has kindly sent me this, about the Camac Celtic harp trophy in Lorient. 

"Under the auspices of the Interceltic Festival, Lorient, France, and sponsored by Camac Harps, the second Camac Celtic harp trophy will take place on Saturday August the 8th, 2009, at 3PM.  The competition will be open to ten finalists will be selected from preliminary applications.  The aim is to promote music of the Celtic countries, with both their similarities and their differences!  The candidates must present a free suite of ten minutes in length, emphasizing this repertoire.  This year, they are also required to play a Breton and a Galician theme (the countries enjoying special focus at the Interceltic 09 Festival).  

2008 was a particularly interesting festival, with the first prize unanimously awarded to Lina Bellard, the second prize to Louise Roux and the third to Anne Postic. 

Please note that the competition takes place at the same time as the Interceltic Festival Harp Day, with a masterclass in the morning from 10AM to 12 noon directed by Dominig Bouchaud (Brittany) and Delyth Jenkins (Wales).  There will also be an evening concert with Delyth Jenkins, and Dominig Bouchaud in duo with the bassist Yann Honoré.  This duo will also perform in trio with the Scottish harpist Maggie MacInès en trio."
