New Composers Pitch

Young composers are presenting themselves and their work in the final hour of New Music Conference. Some of them are still studying at the Dutch conservatories, some have just graduated, all have been brought forward by their former teachers. Welcome them to the stage! Let’s see how they manage to pitch their art. A professional jury will discuss the presentations. The composer who makes a lasting impression will be rewarded with a Buma New Music Incentive of 250 euro.
