It’s a pleasure to give upcoming talent with original ideas and a promising artistic background a helping hand. And that’s exactly what IYAP is for: to boost young ensembles, helping them grow into the stars of tomorrow. With intensive coaching from international early music specialists, the selected ensembles draw a variety of fresh new insights and tonnes of energy from their stay in Antwerp. But first comes this concert day, with short showcases where the dawning stars of tomorrow demonstrate the best of what they can do. Cheer for your favourites after a brilliant performance and discover the festival bills of the future before anyone else.
Fortepiano Atelier
?Fortepiano Atelier, based in Krakow, Poland, is a group of musicians passionate about 19th-century chamber music, historical instruments, and historically informed performance. They aim to share this passion with their audience, reviving both well-known and forgotten 19th-century chamber music works, and bringing them to life as they would have sounded in their own time. A key aspect of this is the unique timbral richness of historical pianos.
