Determine what kind of experience you want to enjoy

We are happy to help you to select your perfect performance(s). To assist you, we have given each performance (an) experience label(s). This allows you not only to select your desired genre, but also to determine what kind of experience you want to enjoy. So now you can map out your Concertgebouw path even more precisely!

We fill our enormous Concert Hall stage with a wealth of talented performers, dancing, making music or even both!
