Geneviève Létang decided she would like to play the harp when she was only four !

She is now very experienced in all kinds of harp music especially classical and contemporary.  She has developed her career in many different directions: solo, chamber music, recordings, orchestra, and instrumental training.  Her aim is to bring out and make known the extraordinary qualities of music for the harp.

She began her studies at the Strasbourg Conservatory when she was nine.  At the age of 18 she joined the Paris CNSMD - Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique and graduated with First Harp and Chamber Music Prizes. 

She has played with many symphony orchestras including The National Symphony Orchestra Bordeaux-Aquitaine, Lausanne Chamber Orchestra and for the last three years with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France. She has worked under the direction of conductors such as Armin Jordan, Peter Oetvös, Myung-Whun Chung and Ton Koopman and has worked with Dame Felicity Lott, Iris Vermillon, Teresa Berganza and Utte Lemper. 

Geneviève Létang is very interested in contemporary music and has played in first performances of works by famous composers like Heinz Holliger, Philippe Leroux, Mario Stroppa, Gilbert Amy and Peter Oetvös. This experience has greatly extended and enriched her musical life.
