Experience Benjamin Herman live on October 4th

Benjamin Herman will perform at Lantaren Venster in Rotterdam, Netherlands on October 4, 2026. Herman is a Dutch jazz pianist and composer known for his distinctive blend of hard bop, soul jazz, and funk influences. His music frequently incorporates elements of improvisation alongside tightly arranged compositions, often featuring a raw and energetic sound. He has released numerous albums under his own name and as part of various ensembles, gaining recognition within both the Dutch and international jazz scenes.

Lantaren Venster is a cultural center located in Rotterdam’s Kop van Zuid district. Originally constructed in 1955 as a maritime navigation light – hence “Lantaren” (lantern) – it was repurposed in the 1980s into a cinema and concert venue. The building underwent significant renovation and expansion in the early 2010s, adding further performance spaces while retaining its historical façade. Today, Lantaren Venster hosts a diverse program encompassing film screenings, concerts spanning various genres (including jazz, world music, and pop), and other cultural events. It is recognized for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to showcasing both established artists and emerging talent.
