During the Friday evening of Gaudeamus Festival 2024, we will once again explore the city of Utrecht. We go on a musical adventure through the many stages, churches and unexpected places that the city has to offer. Discover how eclectic and unexpected the world of contemporary composed music is. And get to know the city (better) in the process!
