CHINA here - Concertgebouw Orchestra and Tan Dun

The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is one of the very best orchestras in the world. But what makes the orchestra so special? Time and time again, critics have lauded its unique sound. While the exceptional acoustics of The Concertgebouw also play an important role in this respect, no other orchestra sounds like the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in the Main Hall. The influence exerted on the orchestra by its chief conductors - of which there have been only six since 1888 - and of the musicians themselves is also important.

An unforgettable evening out
The Concertgebouw is one of the best concert halls in the world, famous for its exceptional acoustics and varied programme. It serves as the home base of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and features performances by the world’s best orchestras, conductors and soloists. Bernard Haitink once praised The Concertgebouw as the best instrument in the orchestra that it houses. The wide-ranging programme offers an excellent selection of classical, pop and jazz music. Attend a concert and have an evening you will never forget. Come experience inspiring music in the beautiful surroundings of the Main Hall or the more intimate Recital Hall.
