58th European Music Festival for Young People - Neerpelt 30 April 03 May 2010 
Already over half a century a team of enthusiastic music lovers organises in Neerpelt the European Music Festival for Young People where in 2010 115 choirs from 27 different countries will take part in. Vocal music performed by about 4.500 participants will be the main issue of our 2010 edition. Moreover, after all these years, the European Music Festival for Young People became wildly known and still knows how to fascinate and impress young vocalists from all over the world. Making music and singing together, across all frontiers and ideologies, is and will be one of the climaxes of their activity. Famous conductors, composers and jury members praise the value of this festival. The combination of fraternisation and competition ensures the presence of the best choirs on stage. The participants know that the spirit of the festival also inspires to solidarity in music and to simple border-crossing human contact. All over the world people practise music but nowhere better than in Neerpelt they get the opportunity to develop their talents before an audience of connoisseurs and an international professional jury. The judgement they receive after their jury concert is a standard of value that has built a thorough tradition, appreciated all over Europe. Alle Menschen werden Brüder! Although the European Music Festival for Young People looks a lot different from half a century ago, the organizers still keep some of the goals of the first editions in mind: encourage young people and give them the opportunity to make music and sing together. Neerpelt also wants to be the place to be where youngsters from different countries and cultures can meet and appreciate each other through their singing and music. Alle Menschen werden Brüder!
