Jasper Somsen Invites
In 2019 Jazz in Wageningen and Loburg Live again are organizing a series of jazz concerts on Thursday evenings. With the title "Jasper Somsen invites", our own Jasper invites the best Dutch jazz musicians to play together live on the stage of Loburg. These concerts start at 20:30h and end around 22:30h. Admission is completely free and you may think "how do they fix that at Jazz in Wageningen?" Well we do it from the generous contributions of sponsors, friends and volunteers. And on these evenings you can deposit your voluntary (!) contribution in a champagne cooler on a leg that is somewhere near the exit.
