Meer dan honderd composities waren ingezonden voor de Composition Contest van het Harpfestival. Drie composities werden geselecteerd voor de finale, ze werden afgelopen woensdagavond uitgevoerd 
door drie jonge harpisten: Gwyneth Wentink, Miriam Overlach en Sabien Canton. Nicoletta Andreucetti won met ‘Mouvements’ de eerste prijs: 2.000 Euro, uitvoering van haar werk op de International Gaudeamus Music Week 2012 en een officiele uitgave van ‘Mouvements’ door Ascolta Music Publishing.
Naast de competitiewerken werden er nog een paar opvallende hedendaagse composities voor harp gespeeld. Luister hier terug naar het concert!
