Encounters
Encounters is het Jongerenprogramma van het Masterclass Festival Amsterdam. In dit programma werken jongeren (14-17 jaar) in de periode voorafgaand aan het festival aan een eigen productie, binnen het artistieke kader van de grootmeester en onder begeleiding van docenten van de curerende kunstinstelling. De performance tijdens en op het Masterclass Festival Amsterdam vormt het slotstuk. Met hun ervaring en vakmanschap verfijnen de grootmeesters de performances en brengen zij nieuwe invalshoeken in de productie.

Talents
Junior Jazz Experience is an energetic big band for young, talented jazz musicians who study repertoire together and gain stage experience in a professional setting. The ensemble is led by trumpeter Lorenzo Mignacca, who has brought his bands to the top stage of the Prinses Christina Jazz Concours multiple times. He is therefore regarded as an inspiring bandleader with a strong track record in developing young jazz talent in the Netherlands.
Erik van Lier
Erik van Lier, born in Haarlem, the Netherlands, began his professional career at 17 with the Dutch radio Big Band The Skymasters. He represented the Dutch radio company NOS at several European Broadcast Union jazz workshops and gained international recognition, including a notable trombone battle at the 1972 Loosdrecht Jazz Festival. In 1974 he studied in the United States with leading bass trombonists such as George Roberts, Phil Teele, Paul Faulise, and Ed Kleinhammer. Van Lier performed with major ensembles including the Kenny Clarke–Francy Boland Big Band, Thad Jones’ Ball of Fire, and Peter Herbolzheimer’s Big Band. He taught bass trombone and directed the big band at the Amsterdam Conservatory for over forty years.
