 The jury, this year consisting of Mary Finsterer (Australia), Kevin Volans (South Africa) and Yannis Kyriakides (Cyprus/the Netherlands), made a selection of seventeen works out of more than three-hundred-and-eighty entries written by composers from fifty-four different countries ranging from Argentina to Iceland and from Taiwan to Costa-Rica.
The selected pieces will be performed during this festival which takes place from 3 to 9 September 2007 in Amsterdam, and are nominated for the Gaudeamus Prize. At the end of the festival the jury awards the Gaudeamus Prize for best work. In addition to these selected works, a number of compositions by young composers will be programmed. A preliminary program will be available on our www.gaudeamus.nl
