The Stiftfestival offers a musical experience of international top quality. The program combines music with other cultural forms such as song, literature, art and dance. Historic churches and estates in the beautiful Twente scenic landscape form the backdrop to this annual nine-day festival.
Our ambition is that a large and diverse audience experiences pleasure, emotion and inspiration through this total experience of music, culture, landscape and nature.
The festival works with volunteers and freelancers. The board is unpaid and acts in accordance with the principles of the Cultural Governance code.
