Matangi Quartet in collaboration with Amare The Hague and the International Holland Music Sessions
Alongside the Matangi Moments concert series, the Matangi Quartet presents the annual Moving Music Festival on Saturday, 20 March 2027: a vibrant one-day festival in which the renowned string quartet from The Hague pushes artistic boundaries and invites audiences into the ultimate Matangi experience.
Moving Talent: From Talent to the Stage. This edition is dedicated entirely to three outstanding young international musicians, who, together with the Matangi Quartet, present chamber music from the classical canon in a fresh and deeply personal light.
Three exceptional young musicians—on viola, cello, and piano—have been selected through an international audition process.
They are given the opportunity to develop their artistic vision and bring it to life on the concert stage. For Moving Talent, each fellow chooses a masterpiece from the chamber music repertoire as the starting point for an original artistic concept. Building on this work, they create a new context, an arrangement, or a contemporary reflection. The result is three distinct concert programmes in which tradition meets personal perspective, revealing how a new generation engages with and reimagines the classical repertoire.

Matangi Quartet is the artistic partner of Moving Talent. Together with the fellows, the quartet develops each programme and brings these new artistic concepts to life on the concert stage. The collaboration culminates in performances with the Matangi Quartet, with the Moving Music Festival serving as the unique grand finale. It is only during this festival that all three programmes come together in a single day.
“What inspires me most is the knowledge that the future of classical music will ultimately be shaped by this generation. I believe young musicians should be given the freedom to forge new connections with audiences through their own ideas and artistic convictions. Not because they are expected to, but because it grows out of their own artistic curiosity. Only then can a centuries-old tradition continue to renew itself in a natural and meaningful way.”
~ Maria-Paula Majoor (first violinist, Matangi Quartet)
