About this concert

The house lights dim, murmurs turn into whispers, beads of sweat tickle the palms: the exciting competition rounds of the International Van Wassenaer Competition are always a highlight of the festival programme.

We are more than happy to give a voice to new talent on the early music scene in this competition, in which young ensembles are encouraged to win over both the jury and the audience with technical excellence, interesting programme choices, performances full of character and a touch of flair.
