Claire Galo-Place

ne pas jeter sur la voie publique — l’abus d’alcool est dangereux


Claire Galo-Place obtained a masters degree in solo harp
from the prestigious Bloomington University (U.S.A.) and was
an award winner in the 2003 international competition in Soka (Japan).
Continuing her career as a solist and chamber music player,
she recently founded the Jean Cras instrumental ensemble and
a non-profit group of the same name.

It is often said that music is a universal language,
meaning that it touches the heart. If we look back through history,
there is indeed evidence that music has evolved much like a language:
harmony, like grammar, is constantly changing, exceptions
become the rule, forms of expression change according to fashion…

I’d like to invite you to explore this history with me,


starting in the baroque period and finishing
in the latter half of the 20th century.
