On Sunday, June 21, 2026, DJAM opens its doors for the annual Open Day! You’re warmly invited to join us between 14:00 and 19:00 in the theater hall of the Polanentheater, Polanenstraat 174 in Amsterdam. The program will be hosted by DJAM teacher Ilse Huizinga.

Enjoy live performances by various student combos who have studied at DJAM throughout the current course year. It’s a great opportunity to experience the results of a year full of dedication and musical creativity!

During the Open Day, you’ll have the chance to meet DJAM teachers and students, ask questions, and exchange experiences. It’s the perfect way to get a feel for the atmosphere and the way we work.
