Dubbed “Nadīna Jazz”, her style blends storytelling, emotion and improvisation. Expect an evening of music exploring themes of love and pain.
Finals concert by Nathan de Boer
From UK-inspired jazz fusion with his band GUSTO to timeless tracks by Sting and TOTO performed with a larger ensemble, Nathan de Boer is finishing his studies with a bang. On 25 June, he will finish his Jazz & Pop (Drums) programme at ArtEZ Academy of Music in Zwolle with a two-part concert reflecting his development as a drummer and musician.

What air teaches us about being different
From the megacity of Mexico City to the compact town of Arnhem: for Alejandro Jimenez, studying at BEAR Fine Art meant a radical shift. In scale, pace, and freedom. But it was within this change that he found inspiration. His finals work is an ode to adaptation. And to embracing difference.
From childhood dream to graphic novel
As a kid, Moos Boeke wanted to become a children’s book author. He had forgotten about that dream until he started working on his graduation project: a graphic novel based on the short story Duizend Vadem by Benny Lindelauf. “Suddenly, I’m living that childhood dream, without even realising it. It just happened.”
