Supernova 2026 Final

Every year, Klarafestival teams up with a dozen classical music programme makers to search for new musical talent: the Supernovas. The winners will not only receive airplay on Klara and Musiq'3, but will also win a concert tour of Belgium. The kick-off of that tour is the laureates' concert during Klarafestival.

During the finals on 18 January at DE SINGEL, you will also get the chance to vote for your favourite ensemble. Because thanks to the support of the of the players of the National Lottery, one of the finalists will receive the €1,000 Supernova National Lottery Audience Award. Discover the talent of tomorrow!
