A women's big band as a statement: Meike advocates for gender equality in the music industry

Meike Brandt is convinced that women are underrepresented in the music industry and wants to make a powerful statement at her finals concert. She does this by putting women in the spotlight and breaking the stereotypes of big bands. With her graduation concert Break the Circle, she will graduate from the bachelor's course Jazz & Pop in Zwolle, together with her trumpet, band and the female big band she founded. 

I have named my graduation concert 'Break the Circle' to address the underrepresentation of women in this part of the music industry.

Final exam Luca Loeb - Jazz & Pop Bass Guitar

Luca Loeb graduates on 17 June from the bachelor's course Jazz & Pop in Arnhem. Luca invites you on a journey through the universe of modern progressive music. This journey takes us through different styles, sounds and atmospheres, constantly meandering between improvisation and composition, between soothing and disturbing, heavy and weightless, bitter and hopeful.

Join the the musical journey

In Motion

Mirjam Kwebeman is graduating with In Motion from the master's course Classical Music in Zwolle, majoring in saxophone.
