Exciting musical encounters
Surprise and discovery, with curiosity as driving force, are the veins of music festival Music Meeting. The characteristic line-up containing highly skilful international artists from the jazz and world scene, forms its beating heart.
Ever since it's founding in 1985 Music Meeting has revolved around improvisation, adventure and experimentation. In twenty seven years Music Meeting has become an established festival, which time and again has presented exceptional and undiscovered talent. The core of the festival consists of projects not bounded by a concept as 'genre', performed by artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, who previously have never collaborated.
Amateur musicians of all levels of musicianship can participate in a multitude of energetic workshops and master classes. Expert meetings, interviews with musicians, short music demonstrations by musicians and music films can all be attended and are complimented by a versatile market and international cuisine. The Mini Meeting provides performances and workshops tailored to the youngest of the festival audience.
This three day festival takes place during Whitsun in the lush green Park Brakkestein, Nijmegen.
At night time the festival spirit is continued in the popular music venue Doornroosje, during which under the name of Club !mm…! a variety of music cultures are blended in with electronic and live dance beats. Here with the younger music- and dance enthusiasts in mind, musicians and DJ's create an experimental open-minded atmosphere resembling modern music scenes in Rio de Janeiro and New York.
Brunch concerts are held in the peaceful settings of the adjoined botanical garden, where different music styles can be consumed together with a filling brunch.
