We are represented with a dedicated Codarts Talent Stage. This year’s line-up features outstanding student performers from our Jazz, Pop and Global Music departments, including Inês Kosters, winner of the Erasmus Jazz Prize 2025.

A festival highlight will be the Codarts Big Band, conducted by renowned trombonist and bandleader Ilja Reijngoud. In addition to our student performances, Codarts teachers will appear across various stages throughout the weekend—reflecting the strong presence and influence of our teaching community in the international music world.

Thanks to NSJF for making this unique yearly collaboration possible. We’re proud to give our students the chance to perform at such a prestigious event during their studies—and equally proud to see our teachers shine on one of the most celebrated stages in Europe.
