Verdrietig over zijn overlijden maar dankbaar voor zijn ambitie, scherpe geest en zijn warme hart voor jazzmuziek, nemen we afscheid van Karel van Eerd.
Tijdens de talloze gesprekken, muziekreizen, gezamenlijke optredens en autoritten ontstonden de ideeën die hebben geleid tot de projecten waaraan Festiventures BV werkt. Zonder hem waren die niet ontstaan.
Trots op zijn vriendschap en zijn vertrouwen werken we door aan onze opdracht: het veroorzaken van meer jazz-optredens, op meer plaatsen voor meer mensen!

Eelco van Velzen wil van Breda Jazz Festival landelijk en internationaal een begrip maken
Als nieuwe programmeur van het Breda Jazz Festival moet Eelco van Velzen (58) nog even wennen aan de vele telefoontjes en berichtjes die sinds zijn aanstelling vorige week binnenkomen. ,,Het is nog maar net bekendgemaakt en toch weten ze je meteen te vinden”, zegt hij in de gezellige ‘chaos’ van zijn kantoor annex studio op het bedrijventerrein Minervum in Breda-Oost.
Winnaars karel van eerd music award 2021-2022
“Sons of Freud’s Wife is a six-piece international, compelling band that was funded around its member’s love for the music of Jazz Idiom, Charles Mingu’s. The Sons will leave you with a full heart and a dancing soul through its In-your-face, chaotic and humorous musical attitude and appearance on stage.” During the finale they did exactly this and that is why they have won the Grand Prize.

Why?
to professional, like most jazz concert and festival organizers, face quite a few challenges. The goal of MusIQ365 and Festiventures is to remove these challenges.
Over MUsiq365
There are plenty of platforms for bands to present themselves and their music to their fans. There are also many websites for concert and live music organizers to find bands. But being discoverable is not the same as being discovered.
And once an organizer and band have found each other, tickets must be sold. The fans must be found, because without fans, there is no live music business.
MusIQ365 helps bands and organizers with every step – from idea to concert – stimulating never-before-possible collaboration with purpose-built software tools.
Jazz is mainstream. We’re dedicated to make more concerts in more places for more people.
MusIQ365 is one of the most comprehensive efforts to reinvigorate live jazz as the thriving, relevant business it should be.
We have a long way to go. Fortunately, we’re not alone. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay up-to-date with our progress.
