Membership
Membership costs €5,000 (excl. VAT) a year, for a minimum of three years, and confers a number of privileges. To ensure that the orchestra is of relevance to a given company at every level, our privileges are linked with different events designed to cater for specific target groups.

Annual Gala

Each concert season the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra gives a grand Annual Gala for its loyal friends and relations. After the concert, everyone is welcome to attend surprising follow-up programmes in the Recital Hall, Mirror Hall, Choir Hall and the Dirigentenfoyer. Until midnight you have the opportunity to meet each other, the conductor, the soloists and the choir and orchestra members.

Season Celebration

This conclusion of the concert season is a popular event in which musicians from the Concertgebouw Orchestra perform a special programme together with members of the Academy and winners of the Salon Fund. All Salon members are invited to this unique evening together with our corporate partners and private donors.
