Would you like to experience our orchestra musicians from close by and experience their individual musical qualities? Then the concerts with smaller ensembles provide you with an ideal opportunity.
Playing chamber music also gives the musicians themselves the opportunity to further hone their interplay and listening skills. This experience contributes to the delicate, almost chamber-musical orchestral sound we are known for.
In addition to individual concerts with smaller ensembles organised on various occasions, we have two regular series, both featuring unique, one-off concerts programmed by the musicians themselves: the chamber music series Close-up in the Recital Hall of the Concertgebouw and the adventurous series Bijlmer Klassiek in the Bijlmer Parktheater, where our musicians collaborate with artists with diverse styles and from various backgrounds. Since 2025, we have also started a collaboration with Theater Meervaart in Amsterdam Nieuw-West.
