| Since 1974 the Bimhuis provides a
perspective on Dutch and international
music in over 250 concerts
annually, in which a variety of
jazz, improvised and world music
can be enjoyed. The focus is on
new developements, but the program
also offers a significant
selection of more mainstream
music, as well as workshops and
sessions.
Bimhuis activities are supported
by the Dutch Ministry of Culture
and the City of Amsterdam.
'Ask jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, a
seasoned road veteran, where in
the world he would send music
aficionados, and he brightens at
the challenge: "Anywhere in the
world? Even if I didn't know who
was playing? The Bimhuis (pronounce:
bim-house)", he volunteers
at once, naming the
Amsterdam venue that has played
a crucial role in that city's creative music evolution (...)'.
(The New Yorker, 2003).
