In the heart of Zeist, enjoy several days of the finest liedrecitals every year. The world's best singers, pianists and up-and-coming talents bring you sung stories.
Everyone sings. For themselves, for others or with others. Singing is the most direct way of making music. Whether they are hundreds of years old, or composed today, liederen express human soul emotions very directly. Internationaal Lied Festival Zeist aims to make lied art accessible and contribute to its development.
Internationaal Lied Festival Zeist has quickly become a leading festival both nationally and internationally. It gives a stage to top national and international musicians as well as promising young talent. The festival focuses on classical singing and is open to a wide audience. By organising master classes and by establishing partnerships with amateur musicians and schools, the festival encourages talent development. Singing, the primal form of the art of music, is given the stage it deserves.
