Fundrasing Goal

The orchestra is once every few years in the US and is planning the next tour in November between the 17th and the 26th, 2024. They will perform in New York (Carnegie Hall, 22 – 23 November) and in several other cities. The locations are not final yet but most likely they will perform in Florida and Washington. 

Performing in the United States is key for the Concertgebouw Orchestra and its international status as one of the best orchestras in the world. Unfortunately, going on tour to the US is not cost effective for the orchestra. Therefore, to be able to perform in these important halls and to reach the American audiences the orchestra is in need of extra funds. 

The American-Dutch connection is embedded in the history of our orchestra and by visiting the US the orchestra wants to amplify that valuable connection. This gives the American audience the opportunity to listen to this world class orchestra and experience Dutch heritage, specifically the unique Concertgebouw Orchestra sound, closer to home. We promise electrifying live moments each concert.
