It’s a pleasure to give upcoming talent with original ideas and a promising artistic background a helping hand. And that’s exactly what Young Artist’s Presentation (IYAP) is for: to boost young ensembles, helping them grow into the stars of tomorrow. With intensive coaching from internationally renowned early music specialists, the selected ensembles draw a variety of fresh, new insights and tons 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.

Their debut programme Until Peace Comes, a journey through early German sacred music in the shadow of the Thirty Years’ War, has been performed in Brussels, Perugia, and Verona, with upcoming concerts in Denmark and Sweden confirming their growing reach across Europe.
