Without your noticing, the festival is already warming up. Because last week, the first participants started their master classes for amateur musicians.

You too can shine on the festival stage, because the International Song Festival Zeist is for everyone!

Former chairman Aat Klompenhouwer put his heart and soul into giving young talent the opportunity to develop and boost their careers wherever he could. Initiating the Young Singers Platform within the festival was his dream come true this autumn. Unfortunately, he was not allowed to witness its first edition. Shortly before his death in September, he gave this interview.
