Vrije Geluiden (‘Free Sounds’) transcends all musical genres: from classical and contemporary music to new and existing ensembles, in recent productions and novel compositions, it offers portraits of composers, jazz concerts, and musical rarities. Its broad view extends across cultures, ensuring that non-western music (“World Music”) receives the attention it deserves.

VPRO 3voor12 has grown into the most significant transmedia platform for alternative music in the Netherlands. It aims to introduce the largest possible audiences to the best new music, from pop to punk, from house to hip hop, from roots to rock. We record performances of bands at the biggest Dutch festivals and clubs, and interview household names alongside up-and-comers, showcasing intimate sessions with acts you don't know yet but really want to get to know.
