Newport Jazz Sessions
Great Dutch jazz, up close at Studio Blendd @ de Doelen
With the Newport Jazz Sessions, de Doelen brings leading voices from the Dutch jazz scene to Studio Blendd @ de Doelen every month. From Edison Award winners to artists pushing the boundaries of the genre: in intimate duo and trio settings, you'll hear jazz up close — adventurous, personal, and fully in the moment.
The artists in this series perform on stages like North Sea Jazz and at international festivals, but here they return to the power of the small setting. Studio Blendd @ de Doelen becomes a place where improvisation, interplay, and musicianship take center stage. Where Rotterdam's rich jazz history is palpable, and where the sounds of today and tomorrow are given room to grow.
Codarts Jazz & Global Sessions
The new generation sounds off at de Doelen
During Codarts Jazz & Global Sessions, young talent from Codarts Rotterdam gets a stage at Studio Blendd @ de Doelen. This series arises from a renewed collaboration between two musical pillars of the rich talent Rotterdam is known for: Codarts and de Doelen.
In intimate duo and trio settings, conservatory students present original work, new interpretations, and musical encounters where jazz and global music meet. The series bridges the gap between training and the professional stage. In a genuine club atmosphere, there's room for interplay and for developing a personal sound.
In this way, Studio Blendd @ de Doelen grows into a regular home for new artists, curious listeners, and the music of the future.
The concerts are free to attend. Seating is limited, so arrive on time.
Vinyl Sessions
The soundtrack to your weekend starts at Studio Blendd @ de Doelen
During Vinyl Sessions, Studio Blendd @ de Doelen transforms into an intimate listening club every week. Jazz, global sounds, soulful grooves, and electronic influences come together on vinyl. DJs dig into iconic catalogs like Blue Note and ECM, spin music from artists who have previously performed at de Doelen, and draw unexpected connections between classics, new releases, and crossovers.
From deep jazz grooves to electronic experiments and worldly rhythms: Vinyl Sessions is all about listening, discovering, and closing out the week together. A free and relaxed evening where music takes center stage, and Studio Blendd @ de Doelen becomes a place for connection, discovery, and new sounds.
Vinyl Sessions is free to attend. Seating is limited, so arrive on time.
