Canal Festival

The Grachtenfestival (Canal Festival) is an annual music festival based on classical music performances. Each performance is set amongst venues characterized by extraordinary or monumental architecture boasting culturally historical value.
Inspired by the annual theme, renowned soloists and ensembles quite often compose concert programmes especially for the festival. However the festival also features advance performances and foretastes of programmes that will be performed at venues elsewhere in the Netherlands later in the season.
The Canal Festival also puts an emphasis on giving young musicians an ideal opportunity to showcase their talents, with performances in lively busy public locations.
