When do we do what?
A lot of the NEST activities take place behind the scenes: musicians coming in for a coaching session, days (or weeks or months) of writing funding applications, residencies...
But we have some public activities planned as well: our Hatched! evenings! For Hatched! the place to be is Vol Pension, a cozy music bar at Ottogracht 38A in Ghent, and also at our favourite creative work space de Koer (Meibloemstraat 86, Ghent).
Hatched! concerts take place on the middle Wednesday of the month, from 8.30 pm. Come and discover some new exciting music with us!

Very happy to announce that we are kicking off the Flock sessions! The very first flock session is scheduled for 3 February 2026, as the brand-new collaboration between tussen NEST, Mosca Blanca and Trefpunt. The idea is to start a series of open workshops and get-togethers for (semi) professional musicians, that take place every two months, in order to create a space for peer learning, questions, knowledge exchange and community building.
The very first session focuses on the needs of the musicians: What is holding you back? What are you struggling with? What would you like to know more about? What is lacking in the ecosystem? Your input will determine the content of the following sessions.
📍 Trefpunt (above Café Trefpunt)
🕢 Tuesday 3 February 2026, 18h30–21h30
🍽 During the break we share a meal together (bring something from home or get some take-out close by)
💸 Free entrance
You can register via this link (in Dutch for now), but just showing up on the day is allowed too.
