Jazz & Pop Arnhem

Breaking genres, colouring outside the lines, and playing with expectations—that's what the graduating Jazz & Pop students at ArtEZ Academy of Music in Arnhem do. A rocking performance, multidisciplinary evenings, showcasing your versatility or presenting your already well-developed project — it’s all possible at the ArtEZ Jazz & Pop finals!

Over the past four years, these musicians have refined their own sound, expanded their artistic expression, and pushed their boundaries. Now, they take the stage with confidence, vibrant and full of sound, ready to showcase what music means today. While connection in the outside world is under pressure, they have found it in art and collaboration.

Have a look at the ArtEZ final from Qisheng Zheng, who combined her classical roots in China with free improv and jazz together into a powerhouse of flute and vocals. "I want to show my musical path".
