Showcase Festival

Classical:NEXT presents artists and ensembles from around the world that push the boundaries and extend the horizons of art music.

The Showcase Festival features a live concert series of artists and productions across different formats, providing a unique opportunity to experience a number of performances in a short amount of time.

The Festival is comprised of Daytime and Evening Showcases, Club Showcases and DJs with performances at the Opening Night and Innovation Award ceremony.

Not attending as a delegate? Tickets for the public Showcase Festival a.k.a. ROAM Festival will be available to purchase at the de Doelen box offices and online. Details will be released in the Spring of 2021.

All Showcases have been postponed and we look forward to welcoming them at De Doelen in Rotterdam in May 2021. But in light of the Coronavirus pandemic, we are opening our Call for Proposals, seeking specifically COVID-19-induced innovations. If you or someone you know has a project, topic, showcase and/or experience you think is worth sharing, then we want to hear from you! Apply now.

The deadline to apply is midnight (CEST) on Friday, 16 October 2020.
