In 1996, 30 years ago, the first inter-lycée regional traditional music competition was held in Lannion at the Félix-Le-Dantec high school, where the Hamon-Martin duo was crowned. Now a quintet, the musical group remains a pillar of the Breton music scene. After a long hiatus in the early 2000s, the Trégor competition is still ongoing. Its 21st edition started on Friday, April 10th, around 9:30 am in the auditorium of the Lannion high school.
This year’s program featured six musical groups in order of appearance: Stered (Lannion), Coquelikollet (Lannion), Steredenn Glaz (Quimper), Madafenn (Lannion), Gwidreüs (Quimper), and Tro-Spered (Lannion). The jury, chaired by Nolwenn Le Buhé, announced the result of the competition around 3 pm.
“This year, we did not manage to single out a group,” said artist Nolwenn Le Buhé, sponsor of this edition. Two groups were named winners of the competition. The first is Steredenn Glaz, from the Cornouaille high school in Quimper. It consists of Raphaël Raoul-Le Maître, 17 years old (violin), Ewan Le Goasduff, 17 years old (bombard), Sinquin Suzy, 17 years old (bass), and Élise Boinot-Turpault, 16 years old (harp). The Lannion-based group Tro-spered, from the Félix-Le-Dantec high school, also took the lead. Its members are Anouk Le Bihan, 17 years old (violin), Anaya Le Bihan, 15 years old (violin), and Noa Domiguès-Denoual, 16 years old (singing).
In the coming weeks, the winners will be invited to perform on various Breton music stages.
