The entire festival runs for over two weeks, with a great range of contributions across the world of Hungarian and international artists, and diverse sponsors and harp makers.

Andrea Vigh, Rector of the Liszt Academy of Music, and Anastasia Razvalyaeva, Artistic Director of the International Harp Competition in Szeged, opened the festival with French and Spanish solo repertoire: Albéniz, Granados, Franck, Debussy and Rameau who are all on the programme.

During the daytime, there will also be concerts by the winners of the Hungarian National Harp Competition; a presentation of different student harp ensembles performing together with Ben; a children’s concert directed by Andrea Vigh and Csilla Gulyás, and the much-to-be-desired idea of a “Cheerful Harp Competition”, this one specially for beginners.

More information and ticket booking is available from Jakobi Koncert, Hungary, or at Camac Harps Hungary.
