Lid raad van toezicht

• Jul 2017 - Oct 2022

Wonderfeel is an innovative festival, offering high-quality classical music for broad audiences. The beautiful scenery of the Schaep & Burgh estate is an integral part of the concept, ensuring that all your senses are stimulated. Wonderfeel consists of at least seven podiums, each with its own design and program. Once you are at Wonderfeel, you can choose freely where to go and how to make the most of the festival and its surroundings. Simultaneous programming ensures that there always is more than enough to choose from, so everyone makes their own ‘playlist’. The importance of nature is not stressed from a conservational perspective for once, but as a creative force and a nurturing environment, enabling an open attitude focused on experiencing. A new, fresh approach that intends to show the logic of music played, heard, experienced and felt in nature. Show less
