PROGRAMMA 2025
Updated September 2025
Live music will be making a return to Kopi Soesoe immanently. Some of you know how you experienced it before covid.
We're looking to bring back live music in a creative, non traditional, way. We're planning and designing that as we speak. So, please be a little patient with us. We hope no one is in a hurry to experience "hit or miss" performances.
For now, we hope you have some magical live music experiences wherever you are.
We'll report back here, when we're gonna get things moving and when we're gonna get you moving.
BTW: the text below/to the side here, it's vintage, but we've kept it on here as a reminder of what the Kopi Soesoe standards for live music are.
Why should you care about our small stage?
Because everyone here comes to really listen to the music. The musicians on stage are no further away than 8.6 meters, so you can hear, see and feel every note. It’s like someone is playing just for you, and that would be true. Even though we are a cafe, we do our utmost not to disturb you or the musicians, so for instance we don’t make tea and coffee during performances.
Every concert that we put on is carefully thought through, the musicians are carefully selected, so that you can experience a good match between their music and Kopi Soesoe as a venue. Hey, nobody says that’s easy, but we figure we get it right 90% of the time.
We are not bound by any particular genre and so any performer or sound that will set your soul alight deserves a spot on our stage and thus in your ear.
In the past year we’ve had performances by a solo bassist, Americana singer-songwriter, a silent concert by a Nederpunk duo, a classic cellist and a “electro-singer-songwriter” to name a few. And sometimes "big" musicians like to drop by and play some tunes, like Nits or Anne Soldaat.
And you, you yourself are a part of the gig, of the evening. Think about it.
All musicians play so that you can really hear them, and for a good musician that means playing “in tune with the room” and not necessarily loud. And so when you have ears to hear, eyes to see and a soul to feel, bring them with you and you’ll be in good hands.
So, check out our program and choose your experience.
