The famous Dutch trumpeter, composer, and arranger Jan van Duikeren will be a guest of RTS Big Band for the first time, at the concert on March 23, 2023, in the Belgrade Youth Center. With a recognizable sound and an energetic lyrical approach, according to Quincy Jones, he is an extremely respected soloist and one of the best Dutch jazz musicians today.

He has collaborated with a large number of artists: Joe Bonamassa, Peter Maffei, Lionel Rizzi, James Carter, Michelle Camillo, Sheila E, Dave Stewart, Diana Ross, Candy Dalfer… Jan van Duikeren comes with his original compositions and arrangements for the big band, and within the concert, a mini-tribute to the great Ak van Rojen, the Dutch trumpet legend, will also be performed.

This concert will be realized as part of the program-business cooperation between RTS Music Production and Belgrade Youth Center. For 75 years, Big Band RTS has been a representative of top artistic reach in jazz music, with the highest standards in the performance of this type of music. Youth Center, as an institution that has been organizing the Belgrade Jazz Festival since 1971 – the oldest and internationally most respected Serbian jazz festival, continuously works on the promotion of jazz music as an art form and supports the Serbian jazz scene. Until the end of the year, more exceptional artistic programs performed by the RTS Big Band and prominent domestic and foreign soloists and composers, who will perform as special guests, will be presented to the audience.
