EMJ 2021
The 69th edition of the European Music Festival for young People will take place from friday 29 april untill 3 may. It will be a instrumental and vocal edition.
Welcome to the EMJ!
COVID-19 Update
Our festival will be organized taking into account all COVID-19 measures that are imposed by the Belgian Government. All activities will honour the regulations and the limitations concerning the number of participants and visitors. The organization will provide a mixture of indoor and outdoor events and when required the number of participating groups will be limited.
Performances can be influenced by practical safety precautions for COVID-19. We will take this into account during the jury performances. Making music and connecting through music and art is more important than giving your best performance ever – especially in these challenging times. We must continue to stimulate youngsters in their musical aspirations and in discovering new cultures and ways to unite. Therefor we are looking forward to your subscription and visit to Neerpelt.
Practical information will be provided in October.
