Birds of Paradise wants to offer a state of the art international platform on the verge of indie pop music, EDM and contemporary classical music with all sorts of connections to other progressive (stage) disciplines and genres for the benefit of:

• production of new work created by innovative creators;
• presentation of transmedial events (concerts and context programme) for an engaged audience;
• music education (Music Miners) that transcends genres. For everyone from the age of 12;
• talent and product development for new generations of adventurous creators
