Red Light Garden Concert: Galit Zadok & Punto Bawono

Twice a month join us to celebrate local contemporary jazz in one of Amsterdam’s newest hidden gems – Brokers Bar, in the historic Beurs van Berlage. Enjoy some of the city’s best jazz talent while drinking delicious cocktails in a gorgeous venue with stunning views of centraal!

Our next show is on July 19th at 20:00 and will feature Imprevisti. Imprevisti is a collision of musicians from different backgrounds who have come together to realise the compositional vision of Lorenzo Servali. This band takes its name from an Italian word: unexpected events.At its core, the soul of the music lies with the immortal Bologna-grown singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla, with a Coltrane-powered message in a Pino Daniele tarumbò-style ambience, brought into the modern spectrum of sounds inspired by the productions of Moby and Massive Attack. The music of Lorenzo is nostalgic of intimate and warm memories. His music is universal and his capacity to collaborate has caused his music to carry the influence of his co-musicians and direct musical environment.

After the concert, the music will continue into the night with an open session where all musicians are welcome to participate and jam with other talented musicians.

Brokers Bar Jazz Club: Saturno Santos' Something (Gabriel de Oliveria)

Join us for a night of live new school jazz and classic cocktails in one of Amsterdam’s architectural jewels! This official Op De Ring afterparty will celebrate how Jazz has been an integral part of the musical history of De Wallen. Taking place in the elegant setting of The Brokers Bar, located in the Beurs van Berlage, expect the unexpected: the new wave of jazz artists play inventive grooves, sharp improvisation, and touches of the avant-garde – all paired with expertly crafted cocktails.

Aletheia will take to the stage. This folkloric-jazz ensemble is led by AgusFulka, a Argentinian/Spanish guitarist and composer who blends flamenco, jazz, and South American influences into a contemporary chamber of sound. Rooted in improvisation and shaped by the storytelling tradition, the band plays poetic, wordless tales that explore the idea of “modern folklore.” Aletheia is composed of AgusFulka (guitar and compositions), Alistair Payne (trumpet), Alessandro Fongaro (double bass), and Frits Steeghs (drums).

After the concert, the music will continue into the night with an open session where some of Amsterdam’s best upcoming players will meet musically for the first time. Stick around late and you might get some extra artistic surprises from the Red Light…

Jazz lovers, fancy dressers, and curious night owls all come to connect, vibe, and jam into the night.

Inspired by the body archives of an artisan and two dance artists, combined with the sounds and atmosphere of a violin-making workspace, Stained Hands is a dance and live sound performance taking place inside the intimate violin-making workshop of Camille Dollibeau in Nieuwmarkt.

Presented in a setting for small audiences, the participants are invited to immerse themselves into a sensorial atmosphere where they can feel, smell, touch, and listen to the space around them. Stained Hands is both a performance and a living document: an attempt to bridge choreographic practice with the world of craftsmanship, questioning how physical bodies and materials hold traces of memory, history, and transformation.

This is the first performance of The Local Project, a series of site-specific works exploring the body as archive through encounters with local artisans and their crafts.

Over eight days, two dance artists and one sound artist immerse themselves in the daily practice of the artisan—observing, discussing, and working alongside the tools and materials. Out of this experience, a performance emerges that blurs the line between workshop and stage, process and presence
