Experience the final showcase concert of the Music in Education Department (Docent Muziek) during Pop Week on 6 February!
This vibrant event brings together a dynamic mix of live performances, creativity and energy on a single stage.
This year’s central theme: ‘Get off that beat’ - the Afterbeat.
In pop music, it’s often about more than the downbeat. It’s the second and fourth beat, that subtle pulse, that makes you move without realising it. Throughout the week, the students of the Music in Education (Docent Muziek) programme immersed themselves in the world of the afterbeat: from funky grooves to laid-back reggae and everything in between.
Throughout the week, talented students from different year groups worked on their passion for pop music as drummers, guitarists, bassists, keyboard players, or on another instrument of their choice. They explored how timing, syncopation and that magical afterbeat can make a song swing, or completely throw you off.
On 6 February, they will take the stage at the Muziekgieterij with their own interpretations of well-known hits, inspired by the power of the afterbeat. Let yourself be carried away by the vibrant atmosphere and experience how the students play with the beat and keep you rhythmically on your toes.
