We watched two breathtaking performances by Ms.Katryna Tan, who was invited as a guest performer & jury member at the 35th Nippon-Japan International Harp Festival in Soka. She mesmerized the audience with her original works: 将进酒, Song Before Wine and Water Dance. joining her on stage was harpist Jia Hui Loh to perform Water Dance duet together.

It was truly a privilege to be able to play Katryna Tan’s original works on the world stage, and even more special to share it with the wonderful audience at this prestigious festival. A celebration of music, artistry, and unforgettable moments! 🩵

Beautiful ART NOUVEAU from Camac Harps Collection in Singapore ! 😍😍

IN HOMAGE TO THE “BELLE ÉPOQUE”
During the flourishing period at the start of the last century, artists on both sides of the Atlantic went back to nature. Flowers, tendrils, leaves and lattices contributed to a style which, like our house, turns its face to modernity. We are delighted to offer you a harp with a magnificent sound, inspired by the “Belle Époque”
