English:November Music Festival (Q613323)

November Music is an internationally orientated small-scale festival in three countries: The Netherlands, Belgium (Flanders) and Germany. The basis for the programme is "New Music", which is put in a broader framework with important links to other kinds of music. Besides the function of November Music as a stage for new Belgian, German and Dutch music (amongst others by a stimulating commission policy), the confrontation with the international contemporary music scene is essential. Such a confrontation provides a stimulus for the compositional practice in each of the three November Music countries. Each year November Music presents projects that are initiated by the festival and produces a CD with a compilation of some of the highlights of the previous festival edition.
