Again, many CvA students, alumni and staff will be performing at the North Sea Jazz Festival. In addition to the performance of the CvA Concert Bigband featuring Reinier Baas on the Mississippi stage on July 12, there will be numerous concerts by musicians from not only the Jazz Department, but the Classical and Pop Departments as well.
Furthermore, saxophonist Maarten Hogenhuis, CvA alumnus and teacher, has received the North Sea Jazz Festival Composition Commission. The jury awarded him the commission because they are impressed with Maarten’s ability to create good melody lines and catchy music. Maarten Hogenhuis is going to write a 75-minute concerto for his trio plus three wind players.
