Nusantara Beat live in Middelburg

Experience Nusantara Beat live on August 28th

Nusantara Beat is scheduled to perform at Abdij Zomeravonden in Middelburg, Netherlands on August 28, 2026. The ensemble presents a contemporary take on Indonesian musical traditions, blending elements of gamelan, daeng, and traditional folk music with electronic dance music influences like house and techno. Their performances often feature both traditional instruments alongside synthesizers and drum machines, creating a dynamic and energetic soundscape.

Abdij Zomeravonden translates to “Abbey Summer Evenings” and is a long-standing concert series held annually within the grounds of the former Abbey of Middelburg (Abdy Sint Bernardus). The series utilizes the abbey’s historical architecture – specifically its cloister – as a unique and atmospheric venue for musical performances. Established in 1983, the festival initially focused on classical music but has broadened its scope over the years to include jazz, world music, and other genres. It is known for its intimate setting and high artistic quality. The event generally attracts an audience interested in experiencing music within a culturally significant historical location. The organization responsible for Abdij Zomeravonden is Stichting Abdij Zomeravonden.
