They bring New Music!

The Composers’ Festival is the annual graduation platform of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam’s composition students at the Amsterdam University of the Arts.

The 2026 edition celebrates 17 years of the festival. Chamber and electronic music, interactive and collaborative pieces, interdisciplinary works create a vibrant and diverse program, presented at the CvA’s various halls, as well as at external venues, such as the Orgelpark. Over 100 students take part in the 3-day-long festival. Find more at www.composersfestival.nl.
