May’s edition of Live at Our Place will be a feast for contemporary jazz lovers. With influences from modern and classic music, Nina Rompa portray colourful, dreamy chamber music in an unusual formation; while Max Sergeant will present compositions where melody and improvisation are central.

Live at Our Place is a series of monthly intimate concerts by Treehouse NDSM’s musicians-in-residence. Our industrial Pavilion building will be turned into the musicians’ own living room, tuned each time to their own particular style and vibe. We invite you to our place, grab a drink, sit on the couch (or dance!), and enjoy the tunes that our talented community is working on during their stay at Treehouse NDSM.
