Gaudeamus Award 2018
The annual Gaudeamus Muziekweek focuses on music by young composers. Each year new works by composers are presented, with emphasis on young composers and music pioneers. The Gaudeamus Award was first awarded in 1957. The Gaudeamus Award, a commission of € 5000 for new work, is meant as a help in the career of the composer. The commissioned work will premiere during Gaudeamus Muziekweek.
Registration for the Gaudeamus Award 2018 is closed! The deadline for registration was 1 October 2017. As of August 1 2018 it is possible to register for the 2019 Gaudeamus Award. If you would like to receive regular updates about all our calls, please register as a professional.
