Nederlandse Muziekprijs

The Nederlandse Muziekprijs (Dutch Music Award) 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 Committee for the 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, during which the candidate undertakes a study program agreed by the committee. At the end of the study process, the committee decides after a concert or exam whether to award the prize.
