Festival 2026
For ten years now, here in leafy Zeist, we’ve been listening to the riches that liederen have to offer. Songs that so often celebrate that very same greenery and move us with their stories.
Festival 2025
Futures: we live in a, to say the least, turbulent time when current events present us with big questions for the future.

Festival 2024
Tell, tell, tell! Human beings have an irrepressible need for stories. To tell them and to hear them. Oral stories written stories, visual stories ... it is an inexhaustible amount.
Festival 2023
German wandern stands for more than walking or going on foot. It means
also roam and wander, leaving the familiar behind. Whether out of curiosity, heartbreak, urge for adventure, homesickness, nostalgia or bitter survival instinct, on arrival the world and soul are different from what they were on departure.
