From February 12 through 15, 2026 We would like to welcome you to the Vondel Church and the Organ Park in Amsterdam for a new edition of HearAndNow. Four days of chamber music in intimate venues, featuring new compositions, premieres, film, and special encounters. A festival to slow down and be surprised, here and now.
We are delighted to present this year's new festival program, together with a new corporate identity and website. A fresh, vibrant look that matches the atmosphere of HearAndNow and everything we want to share. We hope this will make the festival feel just as close online as it does in the venue!
In 2026, we invite you to discover the world and music of Karol Szymanowski central. His dreamy and colorful soundscape forms the starting point for an adventurous program in which old and new music meet, with room for imagination, recognition, and new works.
Take a look at the revamped website and discover the full program.
