Internationale Gaudeamus Muziekweek
Share this on
The annual Gaudeamus Muziekweek ('Music Week') focuses on new works by young composers, with participants also competing for the Gaudeamus Composers Award. The festival provides a great overview of the newest developments in contemporary music every year.
Never has classical been so contemporary as with the Gaudeamus Muziekweek - so don't expect traditional arrangements or a 'Best of Bach' programme. Instead, the Gaudeamus's performers usually revel in making contemporary music that challenges their listeners' perceptions.
When Amsterdam's Gaudeamus Foundation closed its (well-sound-proofed) doors, the Muziekcentrum Nederland took over the organisation of the Muziekweek to ensure that lovers of contemporary music may still enjoy the world-renowned festival every September.
A large part of the Gaudeamus Muziekweek is the Gaudeamus International Composers Award for young composers. Each year sees a few hundred entrants, from which 15 finalists are chosen.
