Welcome
at the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
Pierre Audi (1957-2025)
With great shock and sadness, we've learned of the sudden passing of Pierre Audi (1957-2025). We will miss him tremendously as an artistic influence in the performing arts and as a cherished partner and friend to our orchestra. We will vividly remember his 1996 production of Schoenberg’s opera Moses und Aron and his role as creative partner from 2021 until 2024. Our thoughts are with his family.

This month’s programming features five works by female composers. They include two world premieres: Another Day by Calliope Tsoupaki and Spiri III: Sacred Ritual by Seung-Won Oh. What can we expect to hear in these brand-new commissioned works?
The orchestra and its Passion tradition
The performance of a Bach Passion every year on Palm Sunday is one of the Concertgebouw Orchestra’s oldest traditions. How did this begin – and why is the tradition still so strong after 126 years?
A fertile breeding ground for talent
Young, the youth orchestra of the Concertgebouw Orchestra, is proving to be a great springboard for future talent. Former participants Francisca Galante Vaz and Felipe Manzano are part of the orchestra’s Academy this season. The viola players share their experiences.
