Join us between June 2 and 29, 2026, for the graduation performances of our finalists from the Jazz & Pop, Composition for Film and Theatre, and Master of Music programmes.

Inas Mujadzic (bass) and Jochem Janssen (drums) started studying music together in 2022 at ArtEZ, where they discovered their shared passion for fusion music. Together with Haaije Bergstra (guitar) and Dax Hemelrijk (keys), they formed the band Ground Effect during their studies. The young jazz fusion quartet blends its roots in traditional jazz with a modern sound. In their original compositions, the group places great emphasis on tone, dynamics, and catchy melodies, creating compelling storytelling through thoughtful arrangements. Inspired by artists like the Pat Metheny Group or Kurt Rosenwinkel, Ground Effect combines the nostalgic character of this music with their own musical voice and a vibrant energy on stage. They will mainly present songs from their upcoming album.
