Christian McBride live in Utrecht

Experience Christian McBride live on October 4th

Christian McBride will perform at TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht, Netherlands on October 4, 2026. McBride is a highly acclaimed bassist and composer whose work spans a remarkably broad range of jazz styles. While rooted in post-bop and hard bop traditions – influenced significantly by his early work with artists like Freddie Hubbard and Ornette Coleman – he seamlessly integrates elements of funk, fusion, R&B, and classical music into his compositions and improvisations. He is known for both his virtuosity on the acoustic and electric bass, and his leadership of diverse ensembles including the Inside Straight quintet and the Big Band.

TivoliVredenburg is a prominent concert hall complex in Utrecht, opened in 2009. It consolidated several existing venues – including the historic Tivoli concert hall dating back to 1914, and Vredenburg music centre built in the 1980s – into a single modern facility. The complex features five halls of varying sizes, accommodating performances across genres from pop and rock to classical and jazz. Its architecture is notable for its glass dome structure and its integration with the surrounding city square.
