The festival presents established names as well as new talent and an international line-up. This edition featured seven provinces and three performances abroad (France, Germany).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Previous editions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> Since 2014, the Bass Clarinet Festijn realised 53 concerts, 15 educational activities and 22 world premieres in collaboration with Bimhuis, November Music, Gaudeamus Festival, Paradox and LantarenVenster, among others.
