What started as intimate living-room concerts has grown into a festival and production house: international artists, new music in unexpected line-ups, commissioned works, world premieres, masterclasses, and two awards of our own, the Zeister Guitar Award and the Zeister Vocal Award.

For this anniversary, we were going bigger: a musical walk through historic Zeist. Stroll from venue to venue, discover hidden heritage spots, and hear each concert introduced by a storyteller who brings the place and its history to life.

Social engagement runs through everything we do. Music for people, by people. Up close, honest, and on a human scale. That’s what makes this festival so special to me.
