Master of Music Walking Concert in the Center of Zwolle
Netherlands Wind Ensemble (NBE) together with the Master's Students of ArtEZ Conservatory Zwolle on May 10th. Start at 12:00 at Odeon, approx. 12:30 at Academiehuis, approx. 13:00 at the Conservatory. Free admission.

On Saturday, May 10, 2025, the master’s students of the ArtEZ Conservatory Zwolle will give three short performances in different locations in the center of Zwolle. For this special production, members of the Netherlands Wind Ensemble (NBE) have shared their knowledge, experience, and inspiration with the students.
The concert starts at 12:00 in the Café Foyer at Odeon, where the music program is inspired by the venue itself: a theatrical mix of world music and classical repertoire.
The audience is invited to follow or join at the next location, the Academiehuis, around 12:30. Here, the performance focuses on expressing the spiritual connection within humans through music.
The musical procession then moves through the city to its final destination: the ArtEZ Conservatory (Aan de Stadsmuur 88), where the students will present their ‘own’ music starting at around 13:00. This includes a vibrant medley of Dutch, Spanish, Chinese, Ukrainian, and Bolivian pieces, specially composed for this group by NBE’s in-house composer Steven Verhelst.
After the final performance, students and NBE members will be available for an informal chat.
