The Concertgebouw Orchestra is making the rounds through the city: for the sixth time, we’ll be stopping off at a special location somewhere in Amsterdam to perform Opening Night. Following concerts on Dam Square, in Westerpark, at the NDSM Wharf, in Nelson Mandelapark and in Sloterpark, we’re now paying a visit to Oosterpark in Amsterdam-Oost. The evening kicks off with a cracking opening programme at 7.30 p.m. featuring young talent and local musicians.
At 8.15 p.m., the Concertgebouw Orchestra will be performing an exciting, festive programme conducted by under the baton of Han-Na Chang.
The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's Opening Night is made possible by the support of Global Partners ING, Unilever, and Booking.com, who aim to make classical music accessible to as wide an audience as possible.
