Educational Aims: Participants will comprehend the historical origins and cultural importance of son jarocho and the arpa jarocha.

Identify the composition of conventional verses and their function in collective improvisation. Listen\, applaud\, sing\, and participate in instrumental practice to engage in the collaborative elements of Son Jarocho. Workshop Activities: Exhibition of the arpa jarocha method and its tuning Examine the social and political aspects of son jarocho as a dynamic tradition of resistance and cultural validation.

SUMMARY:Kevin Le Pennec
DESCRIPTION:Coming Out is a vibrant set of original songs for harp and voice\, where trad influences emerge in\ndifferent ways — through rhythms\, melodies\, or the lyrics themselves.\nDrawn from Kevin Le Pennec’s new 2026 album Coming Out\, the program blends these roots with\ncontemporary and pop-infused colours to explore queer\, feminist and humanist themes with poetic\nwriting\, a rhythmic\, expressive harp\, and a clear\, compelling vocal presence.\nMoving between driving grooves\, quiet intimacy and luminous energy\, this performance creates a\nspace where identity\, freedom and modern folk sensibilities meet. A vibrant\, intimate and deeply human program.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Harp in Jazz through Standards and Original Compositions
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the harp in jazz through standards and original compositions\, this session blends classical forms with improvisation\, highlighting the instrument’s expressive potential across harmonic\, rhythmic\, and stylistic boundaries. This session explores the creative fusion of classical and jazz traditions through original compositions for harp that incorporate improvisation as a central element. Drawing from both structured classical forms and the spontaneity of jazz\, the performance offers a fresh perspective on the harp’s expressive potential beyond conventional boundaries. The presentation will include live performances of original pieces that demonstrate how improvisational techniques can coexist with through-composed structures. Each piece reflects a unique synthesis of styles\, from rich harmonic textures rooted in classical music to\nrhythmically vibrant and harmonically adventurous passages inspired by jazz.
