The biennial festival and competition focused fully on new music and harpsichord, offers a colourful program full of contemporary music, both from Dutch and international composers, performers, rising stars and established names. At the festival you can witness several world premieres, garner inspiration from young contemporary harpsichord pioneers throughout the competition rounds, learn new insights and exchange knowledge about harpsichord in the context of the 21st century and more during our symposium program, or listen to (and meet!) some of your new favorite composers and performers. 
 
The festival celebrates the memory of Annelie de Man, who was not only a brilliant musician, but also a prominent pedagogue who inspired many harpsichordists and composers to take interest in contemporary literature for the instrument.
