Making a donation to the Concertgebouworkest

The Concertgebouworkest has its own unmistakable sound, not least because, in its 130-year existence, it has had only seven chief conductors. Passionate musicians perform masterpieces for appreciative, loyal audiences. The orchestra’s core of donors take pleasure in giving something extra to ensure the continued existence of the orchestra and its unique character.

In order to strengthen ties with our donors, we have developed a giving programme. You can join for as little approximately €500 net, thanks to tax benefits. We sincerely hope you’ll join us. ¹
