Who are we ?

"Originally, a crush on this magnificent place that constitutes the perimeter between the castle, the quays of Rolle and the island of La Harpe.

Having taken over for 2 years the musical dinners in white organized on the island of La Harpe, we had already experienced the magic of the place, but wanted to go further by offering different events over several days around a theme linking the history and local heritage, to contemporary creation.

Our project was born from this idea, which the town and region immediately supported.

The island of La Harpe, an emblematic place in Rolle, gave its name to the festival.

Hélène Rau, Bertrand Michel and Sonia d'Agrain—Co-founders of the festival.
