19:40 uur - The Contemporary Jazz Ensemble (Ed Verhoeff)
consists of five students of Fontys Academy of the Arts in Tilburg, who all have different backgrounds and are in different places of their study program.
Another aspect that makes them unique from one another is their cultural backgrounds. With half of the ensemble coming from South-Korea and the other half from The Netherlands, they all have different approaches and styles. Besides all these differences, there is one thing that they all share and what brought them together, namely their love for contemporary jazz music and performing.
From the moment the theater gets dark and the stagelightning is lit, their communal focus will enable them to create a well balanced way of playing their repertoire. By listening to each other, react to what they're hearing and by and challenging themselves, their goal is to play every tune like it's new. Of course their improvisations also play a big part in this. Their repetoire consists of a diverse mix of pieces that range from Esperanza Spalding compositions, Miles Davis arrangements and some more soul-like songs.

21:00 uur - Fontys Cuban Latin Ensemble (Michiel Westerhuis)
Met een combinatie van traditionele Cubaanse muziek en hedendaagse Latin muziek creëert het Fontys Cuban Latin Ensemble een unieke stijl. Dit ensemble bestaat uit studenten van het Tilburgs conservatorium (Fontys Academy of the Arts). Dit is een gemixte groep van zowel de jazz én de klassieke muziekafdeling uit verschillende landen, waaronder: Nederland, Spanje, Portugal, Chili en Mexico. Het repertoire wat zij spelen loopt van Eddie Palmeri tot Gloria Estefan. Deze botsing van tijdperken vindt plaats door traditionele stukken met een moderne instrumentenbezetting te spelen, of juist het tegenovergestelde waarbij composities met een traditionele percussiesectie worden gespeeld. De muziek is gebaseerd op ritme, maar er worden ook pakkende melodieën, harmonieën en improvisaties gespeeld
