Important visit for the jazz department! Jazz drummer Mark Guilliana interrupted his touring schedule for a masterclass with extensive Q&A for the students. The room was packed to capacity and yes, everyone had questions. Key takeaways for us is that chaos can be interesting, while boundaries lead to greater creativity.

Pete Agora’s Trio feat. Joe Lovano – 16 August at Jazz Middelheim
Yes! Once again, the organisers of the Antwerp Jazz Festival Jazz Middelheim and the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp are tightening their bonds. Three students get three days to get ready for a dazzling performance together with the equally dazzling Joe Lovano. He is the coach on duty and takes Lars Van de Voorde (piano), Jef Manderveld (double bass) and Jesse Dockx (drums) under his wing to prepare for an amazing concert on the main stage.
