Fenix

The atmospheric music of Fenix takes you on a musical tow rope. This electronic-acoustic band playfully alternates catchy melodies and irresistible grooves. Together they play a colorful landscape of music that arises in the moment. No performance sounds the same because this band loves to improvise. What is predictable: their music makes you move!

Ringdown Caroline Shaw + Danni Lee

As a classically trained composer, Caroline Shaw has already won a Pulitzer Prize and a Grammy. She is also making waves in the pop world through her collaborations with top artists such as Beyoncé. With singer-songwriter Danni Lee, she forms the electronic pop duo Ringdown. Here, too, it is all about challenging harmonies, but now embedded in cinematic, partly electronic orchestrations. Music in which Caroline and Danni follow their hearts and ignore all conventions.

Maat Saxophone Quartet - Metamorphosis, a Virtual Opera

Metamorphosis is an adaptation of Kafka's 1912 novella in the form of a virtual opera, created by composer Nuno Lobo and video artist Pedro Lobo.

Verneri Pohjola & Mika Kallio

Film met livemuziek - Verneri Pohjola & Mika Kallio

Trumpeter Verneri Pohjola and percussionist Mika Kallio create an atmospheric, sometimes wild soundscape that is the perfect counterpart to the Finnish nature film shown during the concert. Animal Image by Perttu Saksa is a poetic evocation of the northern landscape.

Oosterpark Picnic Concerts: Cello Duo Hamer-Bermudez

Tiffany Poon - Debut in Amsterdam

“Pianist Tiffany Poon is one of those rare, once-in-a-generation phenomena that overturns our preconceptions,” Bachtrack said. This 27-year-old piano sensation will perform in Amsterdam for the first time with a solo recital. She supplements works from her recent debut CD Diaries: Schumann (no. 1 on both Apple Music and the Billboard Charts) with preludes by Chopin, Bach and the ever-spectacular piano version of Ravel's La Franse—a debut that will be talked about for a long time.

Johnathan Blake & Pentad

Absolute top players from American jazz can be found in Pentad, led by Johnathan Blake, who is one of the most gifted drummers of his generation. He grew up in Philadelphia, the city that meant so much to American music history. On his most recent album, Passage, he pays tribute to his father, jazz violinist John Blake Jr., who died 10 years ago.

Unlimited tragedy - VU Orchestra

An evening of extremes of emotions. Love and struggle alternate in Tchaikovsky's 'Romeo and Juliet', followed by the beautiful sounds of Rudi Stephan. This German composer was considered one of the most talented musicians of his time, but during the First World War, he died at the age of 28 at the front of what is now Ukraine. 'Musik für Geige und Orchester' is a beautiful late romantic composition in which the entire orchestra enters into a dialogue with the soloist, concertmaster of the VU Orchestra Lucien Renette.

Kronos Quartet + Sam Green -A Thousand Thoughts

In A Thousand Thoughts the Kronos quartet looks back on its fifty years of existence. Live music and film merge into a multimedia event about what music is, what listening means and how music can change the way we experience the world. In addition to music by all the great minimalists, there will be new work, music by non-Western composers and of course Black Angels by George Crumb, the work that led to the formation of the Kronos Quartet.

Carmen – The Hopelezz Edition IJ-Salon

‘I want Carmen to be performed at my gravesite,’ composer Henriëtte Bosmans wrote. In this IJ-Salon, the musicians of the IJ-Salon and the drag queens of House of Hopelezz and House of Løstbois fulfil her wish and pay tribute to one of the most extraordinary Dutch musicians of the 20th century in the Muziekegebouw on 9 March. Bosmans identified herself with the fearless heroine of Bizet’s opera, who didn’t care about conventions and remained true to herself until her death.

Requiem Mozart and Kõrvits

Estonian religious fervour and Mozart's timeless swan song performed by the Flanders Symphony Orchestra and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir in the Muziekgebouw. Will you also be there on 1 March?

Streetwise Calefax

A versatile, brutal program that is full of zest for life. With music from all times that originated on the street or was inspired by street life. Using a soundscape and loose presentation, Calefax creates an atmosphere in which all musical shutters open.

Australian String Quartet + Lou Bennett AM - Extending String Quartet: Quartet & Country

Join the Australian String Quartet as they explore the rich and diverse evolution of string quartet music in Australia on 31 January at The Muziekgebouw. Guided in conversation and song with Yorta Yorta Dja Dja Wurrung, Dr Lou Bennett AM, this program celebrates the diverse composers of modern Australia alongside the European music that has influenced the Australian musical landscape. From First Nations Australian culture to the music of Sculthorpe, Symonds and Beethoven, this is the story of a quartet and country.

COCON Cello Octet Amsterdam

Eight cellists, enveloped by eight moving shells: for COCON, the Cello Octet and artist Nick Verstand create a fascinating scene. The shells unfold and transform simultaneously with the music in a subtle interplay of light, sound, performance, and robotics. COCON includes six new compositions specially created for the octet, with the opener being Sarah Davachi's long work Graduals. This concert is part of The Rest is Noise. Come and listen in 't Muziekgebouw aan het IJ.

Madrigals in Arcadia Collegium Vocale Gent

Collegium Vocale Gent and conductor Philippe Herreweghe open the world to Arcadia, a pagan Garden of Eden where shepherds and shepherdesses surrender to nature, song and love. In an original way, Herreweghe and his singers combine songs by Monteverdi and his contemporaries into a dramatic story about the lovers Tirsi and Clori, alternating with instrumental intermezzos. A story through powerful themes such as desire, closeness, separation, death and reunion, ending with a dazzling dance suite. Come and listen in 't Muziekgebouw aan het IJ.

Marc-André Hamelin - Concord and Gaspard

Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin has a record of legendary performances at the Muziekgebouw. A series to which this recital can already safely be added. After all, Hamelin is bold enough to play Charles Ives’ infamous Concord Sonata and Ravel’s equally feared Gaspard de la nuit in one evening - a marathon session for many, the ultimate fusion of technique and poetry for Hamelin.
