Seeking young, promising chamber music ensembles for Supernova
Supernova 2025
Eleven art organisations will go in search of young, promising chamber music ensembles – the 2025 Supernovas!
Every year, experienced programmers from the classical music world select two Belgian chamber music ensembles. SUPERNOVA is an incentive prize that gives young artists recognition and the opportunities to perform: a calling card at the start of a promising career. The two celebrated Supernovas win a Belgian concert tour. The first concert on this tour takes place at Bozar as part of Klarafestival 2025. Supernovas also receive media attention from both Klara and Musiq’3, and one of the finalists will have a chance to win the audience award.
Supernova is an incentive prize that gives young artists name recognition and playing opportunities: a calling card at the beginning of a promising career. Each year, experienced programmers select two Belgian chamber music ensembles. These two Supernovas win a concert tour across Belgium with a kick-off during Klarafestival 2025. In addition, Supernovas receive plenty of media attention from both Klara and Musiq’3 and one of the finalists stands a chance of winning an audience award.
How to participate?
Entries can be submitted until 30 October 2024 via this website. Based on the videos submitted, eight chamber music ensembles will be selected for the semi-final (mid-December 2024). Four chamber music ensembles will advance to the finals on 2 February 2025 at DE SINGEL. There, the jury crowns two finalists as Supernovas of 2025.
partners and stargazers
Supernova is organised by ten different partners. They each support the competition according to their own ability structurally, logistically and/or financially. In addition, each partner organisation delegates one jury member who sits in both the first round, semi-final and final. Partners (with the exception of Flanders Arts Institute, Klara and Musiq’3) undertake to programme both winners.
Stargazers are cultural organisations that have committed to programme one or more Supernova finalists three years in a row. Delegates from these cultural organisations are present at the semi-finals and collectively have one jury vote.
