Visitors can join in for a jam session with the Open Stage musicians and showcase their musical talents. On Friday July 12 the lineup is supported by Chaerin Im Quartet, who will host and open the session before visitors take the stage. They will support you musically during your performance.
Chaerin Im is an Amsterdam-based South Korean pianist and winner of the Keep An Eye Music Award 2024. Nowadays, she is an essential part of the European jazz scene and has worked with musicians including Pablo Held, Jasper Høiby, Ben van Gelder, Reinier Baas, and Sun-Mi Hong. In her quartet, she plays freshly written material with Siebren Smink on guitar, Matteo Mazzù on electric bass, and Ludvig Søndergaard on drums. They blend and layer sounds inspired by everything they like from indie pop and free-improv to electronic music.
Playing time per participant is around 5 minutes. To perform, you can sign up directly at the Open Stage in the Central Park area between 2.30 – 6.00 PM.
The stage is equipped with a fixed backline setup, including drums, keyboard, (double) bass, guitar and microphones that may be used. Visitors are only allowed to bring small instruments (such as saxophone, guitar, electric bass, violin, flute, etc.) provided they are registered with the organisation in advance. As house rules dictate you are only allowed to bring small bags, please make sure to register your instrument now by sending an e-mail to info@northseajazz.com. You will then receive a confirmation to show at the festival entrance. Please note this does NOT automatically guarantee a spot at the Open Stage; you’ll still have to register at the festival.
