After the huge success of the 2015 edition of the European Student Orchestra Festival, a new edition in Leuven, Belgium had to be organized. Two new members were added to the ESOF-Team to prepare for a bigger edition with the same quality. The festival entailed an extra day, which allowed more orchestras to participate. Home base remained Leuven and the University Symphony Orchestra of the KU Leuven was proud to be the host again.
