Welcome to our student site!
We are delighted to invite young string quartets and ensembles to take part in the 37th edition of Zeist Music Days Festival.
From August 18 to August 28, the festival offers an inspiring ten-day immersion in the chamber music world, in the beautiful surroundings of Zeist, The Netherlands. Participants will benefit from daily masterclasses, performances, and listen to the concerts by world-famous quartets, and connect with talented young musicians.

Ten days of masterclasses and music-making in a wonderful location, learning from internationally renowned musicians, attending all festival concerts, and performing with your ensemble on three locations in the province of Utrecht and a final concert in Zeist. Masterclasses will take place daily for each ensemble. There are private spaces, study rooms and shared meals in a very relaxed atmosphere!
Daily lessons will help you take your repertoire to a new level, widen your knowledge of different styles and improve your ensemble sound and make it more personal. The masterclasses can also be an excellent means of preparation for an international competition or for a new concert season.
