On Sunday 28 June, students from Utrechts Conservatorium, together with vocalists and musicians from all over Utrecht, will present their gift to the city: the Treasure of Utrecht. The spectacle is the festive closing event of our celebration of 150 years of HKU Utrechts Conservatorium.

REGISTER HERE TO JOIN AS A SINGER OR MUSICIAN!

Musical parade starting at Dom Square – ending with a concert at Mariaplaats
Treasure of Utrecht starts as a parade at Dom Square, processing to Mariaplaats where students and the public will sing and play the music of Jacob van Eyck: a blind carillonneur from the seventeenth-century. We invite everyone to come and join us.

Upon arrival at Mariaplaats, the students will perform two works at a large outdoor stage, joined by vocalists and musicians from Utrecht. The first work is a compilation of graphic scores created by Utrecht-based primary school children. The second is a renewed premiere of a composition, that was long thought to be lost, from perhaps the greatest composer that Utrecht has ever seen: Louis Andriessen.

By the city, for the city
The music by Van Eyck, Andriessen and Utrechts primary school children, serve to mark the bond that HKU Utrechts Conservatorium has with the musical history of the city. Therefore the whole public is welcome to join in the parade and sing or play along with the closing concert at Mariaplaats.
