On vacation or to a festival?
For many people, the summer holidays are a reason to avoid the holiday crowds and to look for entertainment in the region.
In countries such as France, every town has a music festival, where as our country music comes to a standstill everywhere in May / June until autumn, but now you can enjoy the Classic Summer Festival.
The master?
Geoffrey Madge, piano master, an Australian-Dutch pianist. He is famous for his piano playing and loved for his engaging personality. For the musicians it is a festival to work on their music career in a relaxed environment.
The masterclass is open to the public!
A unique experience for the public to experience one or more days / half days with summer evening concerts and master classes. And for the loyal visitors who attend the entire process, there is the fascinating experience of seeing how the participants have progressed in a few days, culminating in the closing concert on Sunday afternoon.
Extra happening during the 2025 Summer Festival Classical in Van der Valk Hotel Vught, immediately before the closing concert that starts at 3:00 PM.
