Ragazze Quartet – 18 October 2026

The first concert of the theatrical season was last Sunday with the Ragazze Quartet. This string quartet developed into one of the most fresh and leading voices in classical music with their groundbreaking programmes that often handle socially relevant themes. In this concert they had an intimate conversation between the past and present. The programme started off with Scandinavian folk songs, followed by Jean Sibelius’ Voces Intimae and lastly Antonín Dvořák’s From the New World (Z Nového světa).

This concert was received very positively, including in this review: VOCES INTIMAE by Ragazze Quartet at Theater de Veste in Delft

Berlage Saxophone Quartet & Noa Wildschut – 24 January 2027

The Sunday morning concert on the 24th of January will be the premiere of the Berlage Saxophone Quartet & violinist Noa Wildschut’s ‘De Mens in de Massa’ (the person in the crowd). In this captivating programme the musicians will explore the balance between personal development and blending into the crowd. The tension of which becomes audible in various musical forms, with arrangements by Max Knigge and Peter Vigh. In Maurice Ravel’s ‘Tzigane’ and ‘Blues’ and Darius Milhaud’s ‘Le Boeuf sur le Toit’, the soloist and the quartet merge into a powerful symbol of togetherness, while at other times they stand in stark contrast to each other, as in Arvo Pärt’s ‘Fratres’.

Lidy Blijdorp and Tobias Borsboom – 28 February 2027

Cellist Lidy Blijdorp and pianist Tobias Borsboom form a close-knit duo known for their intense, expressive performances and remarkable musical connection. On the 28th of February, they will bring a varied programme to the stage, combining the vibrant Spanish influences of Manuel de Falla’s ‘Suite Populaire Espagnole’ and Alberto Ginastera’s ‘Pampeana No. 2’ with the rich romanticism of César Franck’s Sonata for Cello and Piano.

Combattimento Consort – 18 April 2027

Profile Studio Business Club (12 November 2026)

Profile Studio Business Club (12 November 2026)

So… What Is It That You Actually Do?
A practical take on storytelling for entrepreneurs

Profile Studio Business Club is a monthly gathering for small business owners, solopreneurs, and entrepreneurs seeking connection, collaboration, and growth.

Held every second Thursday of the month in a warm and welcoming environment of our photo studio, these meetings are designed to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to share ideas, get feedback, and build meaningful relationships with like-minded professionals.

Many entrepreneurs do meaningful, high-quality work and still struggle with one simple thing: explaining what they do in a way that people immediately understand.

This November edition of the Profile Studio Business Club is about business storytelling, not as a marketing trick, but as a tool for clarity. When your story is clear, conversations feel easier, your message feels calmer, and people can decide faster whether you are the right fit.

This session is designed for entrepreneurs who don’t want to oversell, overshare, or follow loud marketing formulas. Instead, we’ll focus on how to structure your message so it makes sense to your audience and feels natural to you.

We’ll look at how clarity reduces hesitation, why your client should always be at the center of the story, and how your visuals quietly support or undermine the message you’re sending across LinkedIn, your website, and other touchpoints.

What we’ll cover:

  • Why good work often goes unchosen when the story is unclear
  • How to tell what you do without jargon or long explanations
  • How to position yourself as a guide, not the hero
  • How visuals reinforce your story before a single word is read
  • How to repeat your message consistently without feeling boring

This is a focused, thoughtful working session with space for reflection, discussion, and practical refinement.

🎟 Only 8 spots available – Reserve your spot early!

What You’ll Walk Away With:

📝 A clearer way to explain what you do and who it’s for

💡One simplified core story you can reuse across platforms

✨More confidence in repeating your message without overthinking

🤝Practical insight from a small group of fellow entrepreneurs

Who Should Attend?

✔️ Entrepreneurs, coaches, therapists, consultants, and independent practitioners

✔️ Business owners who feel their work is hard to explain

✔️ Professionals who want clarity without hype

✔️ Anyone who wants their message to feel calm, human, and solid

We keep the table intentionally small with 8 seats, so there’s time for real conversation and personal input.

🗓 Date and Time: Nov. 12th, 6.30PM

📍 Location: Profile Studio, Frederikstraat 481, the Hague, the Netherlands

🎟 Only 8 spots available – book early!

You don’t need better words, you need a clearer story. Join us in November and simplify the way you tell your business story.

What We’re About

As business owners, especially those running one-person operations, it’s easy to miss the camaraderie and collaboration of having colleagues. The Profile Studio Business Club bridges that gap, offering a place where you can:

  • Share and brainstorm ideas, plans, and visuals for your business.
  • Seek feedback on your projects, services, or events in a friendly and constructive environment.
  • Build a circle of trusted peers who understand your challenges and celebrate your wins.
  • Find business friends and collaborators to help you take your ideas to the next level.

Whether you’re refining your brand, launching a new product, or simply looking for a group of like-minded entrepreneurs to connect with, this club offers the perfect opportunity to grow personally and professionally.

Sound or Not Festival (3-6 December 2026)

Modelo62 hosts a new edition of this festival featuring performances that test, blur and playfully transgress the boundaries of what music can be. The programme encourages the audience and the artists to experience ‘sound’ not merely as a concert, but as a physical, social and shared experience. 

When does sound become music? Spend these days at the boundary with us, to explore the threshold between sound and non-sound, between music and everything else. 

Sound or Not Festival will take place at various venues: 

— Zaal 3, De Constant Rebecqueplein 20A, 2518 RA Den Haag
— SoundHouse, De Constant Rebecqueplein 20B, 2518 RA Den Haag

— Flora, De Constant Rebecquestraat 55, 2518 RC Den Haag

A limited edition of 50 ‘Passe-partout’ will be available for purchase from Monday 19 October until Tuesday 27 October, or whilst stocks last.

If you get a pass-partout you get access to all the events of the festival. Please note that this passe-partout does not automatically reserve seats. You need to book your seat for each performance in advance; otherwise, we cannot guarantee that your seat will be reserved for the performance.
