In these uncertain times, we all yearn for something real; something authentic and made with love. For over 135 years, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra has been giving people world-class experiences of this kind. Superbly talented, inspired musicians and conductors join forces night after night, challenging each other to test the boundaries of their abilities. That’s what makes every single concert by the Concertgebouw Orchestra unique.

World-class

The Concertgebouw Orchestra is one of the world’s leading orchestras. Our musicians come from 25 countries, and we perform in and outside of the Netherlands, from London to Tokyo.

We play every concert as if it’s our first time together. You can feel the energy, and how much our musicians enjoy their work dedicating themselves to sharing great classical music.

Innovative

By challenging ourselves, and by going for the unexpected, we can keep providing incomparable musical experiences.
