The Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht ("Utrecht Early Music Festival") – the largest of its kind in the world – is a ten day event that takes place every year at the end of August, in the historic centre of Utrecht. During the festival the programme is filled with over 150 concerts and other activities like Summerschool Lectures, an Early Music Exhibition and a STIMU-Symposium. The music festival showcases and celebrates early European art music.
The primary venue, however is TivoliVredenburg, which opened in 2014. TivoliVredenburg is on the former site of an earlier music venue, Muziekcentrum Vredenburg. The Muziekcentrum was the festival's primary venue until it was demolished in 2008, to allow for new construction. The main concert hall of the Muziekcentrum was subsumed into the TivoliVredenburg.[2]
Each year, the festival's organiser's adopt a theme, which focuses attention on a particular place, time, and style in early music. The theme shapes not only the style and musical repertoire of the performances, but the period instruments used.
