AGENDA

Hendrik Gilles – Final Bachelor Concert Hendrik Gilles began making music at a young age and started playing guitar when he was 12. Around the same time, he formed his first band and began developing his skills as a musician and songwriter. After finishing school, he decided to pursue music more seriously and started his bachelor studies in guitar at ArtEz University of the Arts in Arnhem in 2021. During his time at ArtEz, Hendrik took part in various music productions outside of his studies, gaining valuable experience and insight into the day-to-day work of a professional musician. These opportunities helped shape his musical identity and gave him a broader perspective on the industry. On June 24th, Hendrik will perform his final bachelor concert at 19.00h in the ArtEz concert hall in Arnhem. The program will focus on original compositions in the rock/pop genre, highlighting the creative direction he has developed over the past few years. This concert marks the conclusion of his studies and is an opportunity to share his work with friends, family, and anyone interested in hearing his personal musical journey   Band for Hendrik’s Final: Guitar/Vocals: Hendrik Gilles Drums: Martin Kuhlewind (cologne) Bass: Moritz Lemacher (cologne) Keys: Silas Nobel (Aachen) + Special guests   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/hendrik_gilles/?hl=de

Marco Braun is a German guitar player, songwriter and producer. Coming from a popular music background, Marco dove deeper into the realms of jazz and improvised music during the last four years at ArtEZ. Simultaneously, he released an album and toured with his Indie band So Soon internationally.    For this final concert, he gathers all the people that were most important to him during the time in Arnhem both musically as well as personally. The concert will only consist of original music with an innate melancholy and a distinctive warm and wide sound. Combining the world of improvised music with multi-layered songwriting, this concert is as an attempt to play “himself“ as honestly as possible.   MUSICIANS  Pauline Timmerbeil - Bass Daniel Louis - Drums Jasper Edeler - Guitar Special Guests - tba   So Soon David Stöbener - Vocals, Keys, Bass Christoph Stöbener - Keys, Synth Tobias Weber - Drums     WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA   Website: https://alwayssosoon.com/ Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/alwayssosoon YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@alwayssosoon     Credit for Press Photo Sascha Bystrova

Kairos Pedro Coloma is a Chilean composer focused on acoustic and electronic instrumental music, with an interest in sound itself. Inspired by multiple artists, he creatively searches for different ways to express and resonate with the project’s main message, whether it is a film, or an autonomous piece.   For his final, Pedro is working on an independent film, combining visuals and audio (soundtrack, spoken word, soundscapes, sound design) in a creative and evoking way in order to deliver the main message to the audience. “Kairos” shows the importance of being in the moment and appreciating simple things through the images and sounds of common places and daily life surroundings, supported by an immersive soundtrack that gives life to the images.   Website: https://www.pedrocoloma.com   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pedro.coloma.music/   Email: pedro.coloma.music@gmail.com
