Amsterdam summer eventually living up to its promises?
Until now Amsterdam summer has led its residents almost to despair. Luckily it has returned and brings us at least the idea of how a sun-kissed summer could have been. Therefore, Amsterdam’s calendar does not fail in providing us with a variety of events inviting everyone to seize every day at its best.
The Bimhuis, the Amsterdam City supported Jazz concert house provides a perspective on Dutch and international music in over 300 concerts annually, in which a variety of jazz and improvised music can be enjoyed. The focus is on new developments, but the Bimhuis also offers a significant selection of more mainstream music.
Here is the Bimhuise program as it was sent to Amsterdam Spoke for the month of September 09
