Masters are closely involved in the activities of the Concertgebouw Orchestrao both in the Netherlands and in other countries. They are close to the musicians, and receive an annual invitation to travel with their partner or guest on one of the orchestra’s international concert tours.

Your donation as a Master is €10,000 a year.
At the maximum tax benefit rate, that costs you just €5.845 net a year (in 2024).
