Rembrandt & Young Musicians

Young musicians of the Classic Young Masters Foundation are inspired by our exhibition Rembrandt & His Contemporaries. The Foundation guides up-and-coming talent in the development of their own musical identity and supports them in the development of musical skills. Their own interpretation of the seventeenth-century historical pieces is developed into a classical music play.
