The Ephémère series

Ephémère is a series of surprising evenings about temporary and contemporary forms of art. It is one of the last and finest series for anything that has to do with contemporary art, improvised, composed, electronic and experimental music, avant-garde films and documentaries, dance, visual art, and in other words, what is important to be presented at that specific moment. Ephémère presents some of the most interesting, innovative, and engaging music of our time, performed in more intimate and less formal settings, allowing a close connection between the audience and the performers. The Ephémère evenings take place at Studio Loos in The Hague on the second Thursday of the month.

The series works as a platform for artists, where the audience can experience art works and performances in a different way than the traditional venues and concert halls. Ephémère aims at supporting the experimental music scene in general, adding diversity in the music scene of The Hague, giving to young artists the opportunity to present their works in good conditions and making a high-quality art accessible to everybody. An overview of the past and upcoming Ephémère events can be found here.
