Pocket Concerts: New collaborative project brings intimate concerts to a wide audience

20 March 2025

World of Jazz, inJazz Radio & New Music NOW join forces for a new and exciting project: Pocket Concerts. This initiative brings short, intimate concerts by Dutch jazz and world musicians to a wide audience via audio and video recordings. The recordings take place in the editorial office of the Concertzender, which is equipped with a radio studio and a grand piano.

20 Pocket Concerts

In 2025, 20 concerts will be recorded by small, often unexpected ensembles. The videos, which provide a stage for both emerging and established artists, will be distributed via various platforms, including YouTube and the sites and apps of the three partners. The performances will also become part of the programming of inJazz Radio, which can be heard weekly on the Concertzender and World of Jazz (and other distribution channels).

With these compact, high-quality productions, the initiators want to bring music to a broad audience in an accessible and inspiring way:

“With Pocket Concerts, we want to create an intimate atmosphere, as if you are sitting in the front row at a unique performance.”
