Close-up: Academy Anniversary concert

The Academy of the Concertgebouw Orchestra has served as an inexhaustible source of inspiration and an important talent pool for twenty years. Indeed, Academy students go on to join orchestras all over the world, and no fewer than twelve of them are now fully fledged members of the Concertgebouw Orchestra. This anniversary concert brings together musicians who were part of the Academy of the Concertgebouw Orchestra in different periods.  

Musicians of the Concertgebouw Orchestra perform their own programmes in the Recital Hall as part of the Close-up chamber music series. Each of these concerts is unique and performed only once as part of the series. It’s the very best way to experience the individual qualities of the orchestral musicians! These intimate concerts are organised by the Friends of the Concertgebouw and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
