The Harp Class at the LUCA Conservatory of Music is led by Claudia Lucia Lamanna, winner of the prestigious International Harp Competition of Tel Aviv. Under her guidance, students receive high-level professional training focused on excellence in harp performance, international harp competitions, and top-level orchestral auditions. The curriculum prepares young harpists for
a successful career as orchestral musicians and solo performers, combining advanced technical training, refined musical interpretation, and a strong artistic identity. The class offers an ideal environment for students aiming for an international career in classical music.
We hold three admission tests each year, in March, July, and September. For specific dates, click here. The test includes a solfege exam and an instrumental performance exam (full details can be found here). International candidates have the option to submit a one-take video of their program.
What Does the Programme Look Like?
The first two years of the Bachelor's programme provide a solid foundation in both practical skills and theoretical knowledge. In the third year of the Bachelor's and throughout the Master's programme, the focus shifts to more intensive instrumental training, emphasizing personal musical expression. Alongside individual instrumental lessons, students also take courses in cross-disciplinary subjects that help prepare them for professional life, with a strong emphasis on creativity and collaboration.
