Gaudeamus Music Week in Amsterdam
Mon 6 Sep 2010 - Sun 12 Sep 2010
Between September 6th and 12th, a host of international composers will be in Amsterdam for the annual celebration of classical music known as Gaudeamus Music Week.
Open only to composers under the age of 30, the event sees various concerts take place right across the city.
The first festival, held shortly after World War 2, was devoted entirely to the work of Dutch composers but subsequent events saw it opened up to those from all around the world.
Each year the jury selects 15 compositions from around 366 entries which will make up the programme for the week and this year visitors are in for a real treat.
The same jury which selects the final pieces will also decide which composer has performed the best and award them with the €4,500 (£4,035) Gaudeamus Prize.
Enjoy classical music on your Amsterdam break.
