Amersfoort World Jazz Festival

Tickets

The Conservatory of Amsterdam challenged Santana to combine a jazz formation with strings. Rooted in the Brazilian tradition that is so close to his heart, perhaps one of the most notable projects of Amersfoort World Jazz Festival this year is presented by National Artist in Residence Lucas Santana through his ensemble +Strings.
In the Netherlands since 2015, he’s collaborated with renowned institutions such as the Metropole Orchestra and the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw, and won a Downbeat Student Award in 2021.
