Join us at our launch event on Saturday November 16
A new
chapter in the legacy
of Jazz Middelheim
After a long wait, the moment has finally arrived: on Saturday November 16 all details of Jazz Middelheim 2025 will be revealed during an exclusive gathering at Kasteel Den Brandt. Paradise City and Brosella will work together to strike the perfect balance between tradition and innovation. The rich history of Jazz Middelheim and the classic jazz tradition will remain central, while there will also be plenty of room for fresh, innovative developments within the genre.
To make this occasion even more special, Jazz Middelheim will take over the city of Antwerp on November 16. On this evening, around twenty concerts and DJ sets will take place at five cultural locations in the city, all with limited capacity.
But before venturing into the city for dozens of live concerts, we meet at the beautiful Kasteel Den Brandt this Saturday afternoon. On the schedule: a presentation where we unveil the details of the upcoming edition of Jazz Middelheim and an interactive drum masterclass by the master Stéphane Galland. Stéphane Galland's masterclasses offer a hands-on approach to mastering rhythm, suited for all skill levels. Through clapping, movement, and vocal exercises, participants explore polyrhythms and complex beats, gaining an immersive understanding of rhythm beyond traditional theory. After this masterclass, we open the bar and host a cosy reception where Rosie From The Block provides the vibes.
