The jazz students demonstrate their best abilities after two weeks of coaching and rehearsals with an established jazz musician. In February, that musician is Ben Sluijs.
Through the concert series “Breathing”, the jazz department of the Conservatoire supports students logistically and artistically in their search for their own musical personality. Under the guidance of established names such as Stéphane Galland, Bo van der Werf, Ben Sluijs, and others, who act as coaches, up-and-coming talent is given the opportunity to rehearse intensively for two weeks several times a year. This intense, creative quest always results in a concert that will both challenge and surprise the listener.
