The Brokkenfabriek was founded by Corrie van Binsbergen in January 2008. Motivated, talented musicians with an interest in the combination of composition/improvisation receive masterclasses for a month, from different musical leaders. Every leader has, of course, a completely different approach and the material that is offered is therefore very varied. The BrokkenFabriek consists of a pool of musicians and changes every month, depending on the workshopleader and his plans. 
The Brokkenmiddag concert happens the last Sunday of every month at Zaal100.
The venue is located at DeWittenstraat 100, 1052 BA Amsterdam.
