The 2012 Composers' Festival Amsterdam hosted eight concerts of extreme variety: vocal, chamber music, organ, ballet, opera and electro-acoustic music, all put together in a four-day long festival from 7-10 June. Over 140 performers took part in more than forty pieces written by the graduating bachelor and master composition students of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam: Danai Bletsa, Kaveh Vares, Giuliano Bracci, Emre Kaleli, Fátima Fonte, Hui Tak Cheung, Valentin Villard and many more.
