Music Meeting's program is put together with care throughout the year and is finalized between September and November of the year prior to the festival.
When making the annual festival selection, Music Meeting's programmers strive for a program of the highest quality, with a strong focus on diversity and the live experience provided by the musicians. Because we are part of Keychange, our program has an equal gender balance and we strive for a balance between international acts and artists based in the Netherlands. Every year a central part of the festival program is reserved for a focus country, and we collaborate with guest curators.
Music Meeting celebrates connection by encouraging encounters and nurturing the future. We actively collaborate with regional, national and international festivals, organizations and venues, and also participate in international networks such as Sounds of Europe. We also offer various talent development programs and facilitate unique musical encounters through our residency program and composition commissions.
Music Meeting receives more than 2,000 concerts a year, with only 30 programs to fill.
