Local Time
Utrecht Goes Bebop

Tomorrow is the last Cultural Sunday of the year in Utrecht, and it's going out swinging. Swing music, jazz, and bebop to be precise. Utrecht is becoming Swing City for the day, with 27 concerts taking place at 14 locations throughout the city. Bebop is known for its complex rhythms and harmonies and solos from multiple instruments, but it's also the most recognizable and most played form of jazz.

The festivities kick off at 11 a.m. at Winkel van Sinkel with a jazz brunch. You can spend the rest of the day there, enjoying additional concerts and jazz vocal performances, or you can head to 't Hoogt theater to watch any of the three jazz films showing. There are also multiple concerts around the city with different variations of jazz and bebop being performed. Most of these concerts are free. Check out the official website to plan your schedule.
