The spirit of the BIMHUIS

HOME by Martin Fondse embodies the spirit of the BIMHUIS. For him, it is a place full of memories, new experiences and groundbreaking music - home to many musicians and a broad and passionate audience. The unique ensemble BigBim50 consists of fifteen wind players and a rhythm section and is a cross-section of the (jazz) musicians who have taken the stage in recent years. BigBim50 is a marching band, a jazz orchestra, a chamber ensemble, and a powerful improvisation instrument that features wood, saxophones, brass, percussion, piano, and guitar.
