NZ Harp Performance Competition

I've moved this project under the umbrella of Harps Aotearoa Foundation - check out 2022 and onwards here

NZ Harp Performance Competition - Holiday Music 2022
​

Winners for 2022 Holiday Harp Performance Competition - Aleesha Kiing and Anthia Yang!


* Sign up on the button above to get updates on the NZ Harp Performance Competitions (Harps Aotearoa Foundation)
​
 Have you started practicing your holiday music??
        This is a PERFORMANCE competition – the PERFORMANCE aspect is really important!
 
Here are a few rules and guidelines for the 2022 Holiday Music Competition.

*This competition is for New Zealand harpists only.

* Please introduce yourself and your piece on the video.  
Please play something that you can link to the Christmas and holiday season.

* Your performance is to be one piece only.  To play an excerpt from a longer piece, or a medley is acceptable. It must be filmed in one take, with the audio (no over dubbing) otherwise it will not be eligible to be entered.  The introduction of yourself can be in a separate take from your actual performance, but needs to be edited to make one file.  Your audio and video cannot be compiled separately – it must be the same performance – if it was not good – video it all again!

*There is no set length for the duration of the piece for this competition, but remember if you only give the listener 30 seconds of music to listen to, you’re not giving yourself much time to be ‘remembered’.  There are also no classes or grades - everyone is competing against each other so aim to produce a really lovely, musical and entertaining video performance to win the audience's vote.

*The entry fee is $20, and you can either submit your entry on below.

*One entry per harpist/email address, and you will receive a response to acknowledge your entry if it has been submitted correctly.  All entries will be posted on the NZ Harp Performance YouTube Channel.

*To find the prizewinners, we turn it over to the harp community – the performers, and the members of the NZ Harp Society will vote on their favourite performances.

Entries are now closed
Voting will close on  24 December 2022. Up to two prizes of $100 each can be awarded.

NZ Harp Performance Competition 
It's never too early to start planning what you are going to play for your performances this year... and as in previous years we will be having the annual mid year Harp Performance Competition, with the deadline being August 1st 2022, and in December we will have the 'Holiday Music Competition' (more details on that one closer to the time!)

You can view past Harp Performance Competition entries since 2015 on our YouTube channel ' NZ Harp Performance Competition' and you will find play lists for each year.
Don't forget it is the best performance that wins - not the highest graded harpist or the hardest piece of music...but the best performance!

Here are all the details you need to prepare for the competition:
