Musicaz
On Saturday, September 6, Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht, in collaboration with Musicaz, is organizing a concert in the Theaterzaal of Het Wilde Westen.
Musicians from the 2025 festival will be invited during the week leading up to September 6 to participate in one or more of the Musicaz evenings. Together with Musicaz, we organize music evenings at various asylum seeker centers (AZC) across the city of Utrecht.
Over 11 years ago, Musicaz was founded as an initiative by pianist and composer Jonas Bisquert. Driven by his curiosity for different worldly musical traditions and his belief in culture as a bearer of humanity, he organizes music evenings with a team of musicians, inviting both residents of the centers and people from the surrounding neighborhoods to share music together. These evenings take place weekly: Wednesday evenings at the Starlodge in East Utrecht, Thursday evenings at Joseph Haydnlaan in West Utrecht, and Friday evenings at the Pahud in Overvecht.
At the concert, various musicians from the Utrecht Early Music Festival will perform, including Thomas Baeté of ClubMediéval with fellow musicians, alongside the musicians of Musicaz sharing their music.
