a stone's throw from Slot Zeist, the church of the Evangelical Brethren Church is the concert venue for the International Song Festival Zeist. The combination of song art, in which nature often features so prominently, and the location guarantee hours of listening pleasure.
To say we live in turbulent times is not overrated. The age we live in presents us with big questions for our future. War and famine, near and far, rage all around us, claiming tens of thousands of victims. Moreover, the huge challenges of climate change, creating a sustainable world and habitable living circumstances for everyone loom up at the horizon. Could music, and for us in particular song, play a role in this?
That’s why we chose The future of music - Music of the futureas our 2025 theme; a theme that invites us to shed light on concepts such as 'future' and 'time' in different ways. What does the passing of time mean? Is it possible for us to be 'ahead of our time' and make our dreams for the future come true?
It might sound cliché, but the future belongs to the next generation! So, in 2025 also, we continue offering an extensive amount of room to provide masterclasses for young, professional song duos. Promising talents will point out the road lying before of us during the Young Artist Platform, the Winners' Recital and theatrical showcases. Because they are the performers of tomorrow. And of course, primary and secondary school pupils make themselves heard. Because if we know how to captivate them now, they will embrace the art of song in the future.
