Het Concertgebouw

	Map		Reviews

It was Bernard Haitink who once described the Concertgebouw as the best instrument in the orchestra it houses. This must have been what the great and the good of Amsterdam had in mind in 1881, when they decided that the Dutch capital should have a proper concert hall worthy of the name.

Seven years later, in the marshy fields just outside the city limits, there stood a wonder of neoclassical architecture, the Concertgebouw, a building that now, like its most important player, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, enjoys a worldwide reputation. Each year the Committee for the Concertgebouw Foundation organises some 400 concerts in the Main Hall and the Recital Hall. The Committee for the Concertgebouw Foundation was created at the end of the 1980's. It is under this name that the Concertgebouw organises an alternating programme that involves both Dutch and international musicians and varies from performances by world famous symphony orchestras to concerts for children, contemporary music, vocal concerts and world music.
