On Friday 6 March, Conservatorium Maastricht transforms into a buzzing evening festival filled with fresh music, bold ideas, and creative performances. During this edition, you experience a brand-new concept. No classic award show this year, but an interactive event where you move from space to space alongside the jury, discovering six unique acts that surprise, move, and inspire you.
Each act is performed multiple times, giving you the chance to experience them all throughout this dynamic evening. As a finalist, you have complete freedom to build your own world. From powerful stories to daring musical experiments… anything goes.
Award for Innovation in Music 2026 is all about creativity, courage, and connection. At the end of the night, you witness the presentation of three awards: The Goosebumps Creator, The Boundary Breaker, and The Storyteller.
