Concertgebouw OPEN

On Saturday 2 September, The Concertgebouw will open its new entrance on the Museum Square to everyone! For a wonderful afternoon filled with music; in all halls, corridors and foyers, everyone can come and listen to a wide variety of music for free. From the Sweelinck Orchestra to pop music, from neoclassical pianist Annelie to a children's concert with Izaline Calister, from an 'instrument garden' to audio tour: you will experience it all in The Concertgebouw. The day starts at noon with the festive opening of the new entrance on the Museum Square, and after that, everyone from young to old is welcome to wander through the building and listen to all that music.

For everyone

Musically, there is plenty to do during Concertgebouw OPEN! Wander around The Concertgebouw and experience a children's concert by Izaline Calister and Thijs Borsten, for instance. Or let yourself be overwhelmed by the grand sounds of the Sweelinck Orchestra in the Main Hall. More intimate is the classical chamber music by Djuwa Mroivili and James Oesi in the Recital Hall. Or get carried away by neoclassical sounds by Annelie or Challem in the Mirror Hall. Via the audio tour (bring your earphones!) you can discover more about the building itself, and for little music lovers there is an instrument garden where you can try out all kinds of instruments. And oh yes, there is lots more to do!

Free admission

Concertgebouw OPEN is free of charge! You do have to reserve a free ticket with the time you want to enter. And after that, you can stay as long as you like!

The reopening of the Museum Square Entrance was made possible by the VriendenLoterij and the Edwin Bouw Fonds.
