Released July 2025 A harpist originally from Toulouse, Cécile Delage is now fortunate to be able to pursue her passions in Montreal. After teaching at music schools such as Sérénité Sonore, the LUMI School of the Faculty of Music at the University of Montreal , and the Siamsa Montreal School of Irish Music , she developed her own harp school, Aziliz, where she teaches individual lessons, combining classical, Celtic, and modern music. It was at the age of 9 that Cécile discovered this so "enchanting" instrument, in Toulouse, France. Very quickly, she turned to the classical harp, known as the concert harp. After obtaining a diploma of End of Studies at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Toulouse , Cécile came to settle in Quebec in 2012 to study musicology and performance. She played with the Montreal Youth Symphony Orchestra, the University of Montreal Orchestra and at the Orford Arts Center (now Orford Music); for masterclasses (Catherina Englichova, Isabelle Moretti, Xavier De Maistre); and gave several solo recitals (Orford Music, master recitals). With a master's degree in classical harp in her pocket (followed by Caroline Lizotte at the University of Montreal ), she decided to devote more time to Celtic music since 2017. Today, she plays regularly with the Philharmonia Mundi Orchestra of Montreal. In 2010, she discovered the complexity of Irish music, participating in the International University Music Festival in Belfort, France, then in a Celtic harp workshop with harpist Janet Harbison, in Limerick, Ireland. Since completing her studies, she has devoted herself to this style on her Celtic harp, searching for new sounds and genre combinations. She has since developed several musical projects, such as Orange Mist, with whom she recorded a CD in 2018, or Mont Roz (formerly the Delmes duo), founded in 2015 with flautist François-Xavier Dueymes. More recently, she can be heard with her balfolk music trio, Malvenn , and currently released her solo harp album in July 2025. Music plays a major role for Cécile when combined with another art form. As such, she regularly performs in yoga classes and traditional dances. She is one of the founders of the Montreal Harpists Society. In May 2023, she had her student group, Borealys, participate in the Harpes au Max festival in France. https://www.ceciledelage.com/ https://www.facebook.com/cecile.dlg https://www.youtube.com/@ceciledelageharpe You can find her Album on her Web page, Bandcamp and Spotify. https://ceciledelage.bandcamp.com/album/clats https://open.spotify.com/album/6Wf8ygELsx9xebv1sxzJbU
