Nederlandse Muziekprijs
The Nederlandse Muziekprijs (Dutch Music Prize) is the highest honor bestowed by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science to a musician working in classical music.
The prize is awarded on the recommendation of the Advisory Dutch Music Prize. The prize was initially given by the Fund for Amateur Art and Performing Arts (Fonds Amateurkunst en Podiumkunsten, FAPK), after 2007 by the Dutch Fund for Performing Arts+ (Nederlands Fonds voor Podiumkunsten+), and since the beginning of 2010 by the Performing Arts Fund (Fonds Podiumkunsten). This committee follows the candidate intensively for a period of two years, in which the candidate with a committee travels agreed study program. At the end of the study process, the committee decides after a concert or exam whether to award the candidate prize.
