HearAndNow Launch Concert

King's Hall at Artis

HearAndNow will be five years old in 2027, and we're going to celebrate. The upcoming festival edition is full of new events, venues and collaborations. So mark the dates in your calendar:

Wednesday, Feb. 10 to Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027.

The composer featured in 2027 was one of the greatest innovators in music of all time. Not only did he inspire musicians and composers, but also well-known filmmakers.

The life and imaginative music of this composer are an inspiration for the festival and we can't wait to share it with you.

During this concert on September 13, in the beautiful Koningszaal at Artis, we’ll be unveiling the complete festival program. The program offers a sneak peek at what you can expect during the festival. You’ll be the first to receive the brand-new festival brochure.

The young Dutch composer Amarante Nat is the composer-in-residence for the 2027 festival, and she will also be in attendance on September 13.
