As an orchestra, we are part of the rapidly changing world around us. We like to keep our finger on the pulse of society.
We fulfil an important function within the city and act as a cultural ambassador for the Netherlands. We regularly perform outside the concert hall, for example on our free Opening Night each year, and we form enthusiastic partnerships with cultural and educational organisations from all parts of the city.
With a highly varied programme, our aim is to reach music lovers from diverse backgrounds. Through an extensive educational programme, we introduce children and young people of all ages to the wonderful world of classical music.
