Adriana Breukink Prize

It will be awarded for the first time on 9 July 2023 as part of the Open Recorder Days Amsterdam.

The jury will award the Adriana Breukink Prize to a soloist in category A who presents a particularly original and innovative programme - in the visionary spirit of the late recorder maker Adriana Breukink.
