Jam With Humans

We're throwing a Summer Ball, and you get to decide what to do: you can watch, you can dance, or you can bring an instrument and play! 💃

Saturday June 27 at Q-Factory, our Humans And Friends series goes big with Multiple Horses, one of the projects we've been incubating in our Orchestra.

Here's the deal: there's no audience-and-performers wall. If you want to sit back and listen, perfect. If you want to dance, the floor's yours.

And if you bring an instrument, there's space to join the music.

Saturday June 27
19:30 to 22:00
Q-Factory, Amsterdam (studio -1.01)
Pay-what-you-want

Bring a friend, bring a horn, or just bring yourself. See you there. 🤘

We're moving to Q-Factory! 🚚

That’s right: The Parlour Amsterdam, the base for our activities for a while now, is closing for good. Of course, we couldn’t say goodbye without thanking Lincoln for all the support and work with us throughout this partnership.

This means that our weekly workshops are packing up and moving into a new home.

From this month onwards, we’ll jam on Sundays, 15:00 to 18:00, at Q-Factory, Atlantisplein 1, Amsterdam.

Everyone’s invited. It’s pay-what-you-want, but that you already know! 🎸

Just published: the Music, Part Two full show at the Jam With Humans Fest 2025! Check it out at https://jam.show/mp2-fest2026

What a smashing way to end this season of Humans And Friends shows than by having harpist Arielle making us dance, play and draw, while showing us the work she and our maestro Albert have been developing for an upcoming performance!

This one's special!🪈🪉

Monday May 11 at Parlour, Humans And Friends features Arielle (harp, NYC) and Albert HC Manders (flutes).

They've been a duo for years, starting in contemporary classical and slowly letting improvisation and dance reshape what they do together. They're currently building a new performance around that crossover, with a tryout on May 30, and our night is an early look.

This will be an improvisation in a duo format, with players from our orchestra jumping in, and an interactive jam with visual cues and room for the audience to move with the music. If you want to play, bring an instrument. If you want to listen, just turn up. Can't be in Amsterdam? jam.show/live.

🕖 Doors 19:00 · 🎟️ pay what you want · 📍Parlour Amsterdam.

The day before: Sunday May 10, 15:00 to 18:00. They're running a workshop with us! Music improvisation with movement woven in, so dress in something you can stretch in. Pay what you want. Full info: jam.show/workshops.

You're invited!

Setting up the Music, Part Two before our show at the (at ). We’d like to apologise to the very kind and patient sound tech for having to deal with the most technically chaotic act of the festival 😅

But what a pleasure it was to play at Sounds Of The Underground! This is where the cool new music is happening! We met so many great acts and made so many friends. Even if you missed it, we recommend checking out the accounts of the acts on their Instagram page.

Photos by .ajo, who was also on stage but unfortunately isn’t seen here because, well, he was taking the photos.
