About this concert

What would it be like to sit next to the members of the orchestra during a concert? Come and experience it for yourself on 9 February, when conductor Iván Fischer will be surrounded by the orchestra and the audience! You’ll literally be sitting right in the middle of the music. 

The selection of composers’ names immortalised on the cartouches (name plaques) on the balconies of the Main Hall – exclusively white men – says a lot about the Zeitgeist of 100 years ago. Amsterdam music history comes to life when Iván Fischer conducts works by these composers. Featuring well-known melodies alongside unknown gems, this concert is like stepping into a musical time machine. 

Soprano Anna Prohaska will be singing songs by Richard Strauss, Diepenbrock, Reger and Ravel. The instrumental works on the programme include Debussy’s Danse profane, with a leading role for principal harpist Anneleen Schuitemaker, and Mahler’s ‘Blumine’. It’s a unique programme full of historical connections with The Concertgebouw and the orchestra
