In memoriam Rudolf Jansen

Twee mannen op het podium

Thursday, February 15, we received the sad news that Rudolf Jansen passed away on Monday, February 12. He was 84 years old. For over 55 years, he worked as a song pianist with well-known singers ....

The Passion of Zeist

On Thursday 28 March, The Passion is coming to Zeist. Because singing together connects, the Internationaal Lied Festival Zeist has taken the initiative to commission a song on the occasion....

Soprano Karola Pavone and pianist Boris Radulovic

Soprano Karola Pavone and pianist Boris Radulović participated in the very first master classes in 2016, gave a recital for emerging talent and won the first edition of the Young Artist Platform in October 2021. This gave them the opportunity to perform on stage with us again in 2022 as well as at the Oxford International Song Festival. So a lot has happened.

Baritone Tomas Kildišius en pianist Gustas Raudonius

Baritone Tomas Kildišius and pianist Gustas Raudonius both participated in our master class in 2022. Admittedly with different duo partners, but there the seeds were sown for further musical cooperation. And what a collaboration it was!

Samen zingen is leuk!

Zonder dat u er erg in hebt is het festival al aan het warmdraaien. Want afgelopen week begonnen de eerste deelnemers aan hun masterclasses voor amateurmusici.

Keuze voor jong talent

Voormalig voorzitter Aat Klompenhouwer zette zich met hart en ziel in om waar hij kon jong talent de kans te bieden zich te ontwikkelen en hun carrières een impuls te geven. Het initiëren van het Young Singers Platform binnen het festival was zijn droom die dit najaar werkelijkheid wordt. Helaas was het hem niet gegund de eerste editie ervan mee te maken. Kort voor zijn overlijden in september gaf hij nog dit interview.
