Davidsbündler Feest
Celebrate the Davidsbündler Music Academy's successful first year
The Davidsbündler Music Academy celebrates its hugely successful first year with the 'Davidsbündler Feest', from 15-18 June 2023 in Amsterdam, The Hague and at Castle Amerongen in the Netherlands. (Feest means party.)
Students, faculty, special guests and the Davidsbündler Music Academy’s founders Anna Fedorova and Nicholas Schwartz will perform various concerts and take part in educational events at the Davidsbündler Salon, Amerongen Castle, Studio 150, Vondelpark and in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. The Davidsbündler Feest is designed not only to present interesting, challenging and beautiful music to the public, but also to showcase just what exactly is unique about the academy's approach to music education. Celebrate this remarkable first year with them in The Hague, Amerongen and Amsterdam.
The Davidsbündler gang: viola player Dana Zemtsov, violinist Daniel Rowland, bass player Nicholas Schwartz, violinist Tim Brackman, violinist/viola player Floor Le Coultre, cellist Maja Bogdanović, viola player Lilli Maijala and pianist Anna Fedorova
