Aleppo by Cappella Amsterdam

In the programme Aleppo, conductor Leonard Evers brings a musical ode to this glorious metropolis. Musicians from Aleppo, together with Cappella Amsterdam, give voice to the rich musical traditions of their city.

Monkeying around & Pounding by Nieuw Amsterdams Peil and Elmer Schönberger

Elmer Schönberger wrote the book Keten & stompen (which translates as ‘monkeying around & pounding’) about his friendship with composer Louis Andriessen, which spanned four and a half decades. During this concert, he will read excerpts from his book. Together with the screening of the film Keizersgrachtshuffle – a poetic portrait of the house in which Andriessen lived and worked practically all his life – an intimate and personal picture of one of the Netherlands’ greatest composers emerges. Please note that the language spoken is Dutch.

Humanity and Nature New European Ensemble

A beautiful alarm bell for the climate by two composers with a shared fascination for ecology will take centre stage at the Muziekgebrouw on February 29. This is not an optional interest: in the Anthropocene, humans have become a geological force that threatens the Earth's ecosystem.

Bartókcyclus 1 Belcea Quartet and Doric String Quartet

Unity in diversity by the Belcea Quartet and Doric String Quartet at the Muziekgebouw on 28 January.

Sunday Morning Concert

It all started with a few arrangements by violinist Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen, appealing as an encore. This idea grew into something more, and the folk music of the far North now belongs to the standard repertoire of the Danish String Quartet. The musicians effortlessly blend the dance-like rhythms with Haydn’s classical notes.

From Rameau to Rachmaninov by Nathalia Milstein

It is time to present Nathalia Milstein, a true artist who possesses a superb technique and comes from a very musical family, in the Piano series with a solo recital that is as beautiful as it is challenging. She delivers on the promise with the challenging program that leads from Rameau via Fauré's rarely heard Thème et variations and Debussy's Images to Rachmaninov. You can hear her in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ.

Mark Padmore + Andrew West - Verborgen juwelen van Schubert en Schumann

Lovers of the song have long been looking forward to the arrival of the British tenor Mark Padmore, who was also best known in the Netherlands as the ideal Evangelist in the 'St. Matthew Passion'. Together with pianist Andrew West, he performs lesser-known but oh-so-beautiful songs by Schubert and Schumann - one of the most refined lieder singers in the world in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ.

Selected by - Ragazze Quartet Mendelssohn and Oh

The Selected by series offers great works – alongside each other, in connection or contrast. In an hour, you will hear the entire string quartet: all times, styles, sounds, and colours.

Carnival Baroque Holland Baroque + Jeanine De Bique

Jeanine De Bique is considered one of the most exciting sopranos currently on stage. Originating from Trinidad, this soprano shares artistic curiosity and versatility with Holland Baroque. On 20 April, breathtakingly virtuosic baroque arias and Caribbean folk songs will seamlessly alternate at the Muziekgebouw.

Alba Rosa Viva! Festival 2024

For the fifth time, the biennial Alba Rosa Viva! Festival takes place. The festival centres on the work of Italian composer and violinist Alba Rosa Viëtor (1889-1979). This time, it features a special chamber music trio: recorder player Erik Bosgraaf, pianist Ralph van Raat, and the young double bass player Sasha Witteveen. They will play solo and as a duo before winding off as a trio with a new work by composer Willem Jeths—a concert offering a festival atmosphere full of unprecedented combinations and surprising music at The Muziekgebouw.

Grass Roots - Quatuor Conﬂuence, Isidore String Quartet & Quartetto Indaco

During the festival edition of 2024, many talented young string quartets can be heard. In the program section ��Grass Roots”, the String Quartet Biennial presents three promises of the future: Quatuor Confluence, Isidore String Quartet and Quartetto Indaco. With an inventive approach to the repertoire, these three string quartets represent the youngest generation, a generation that is aware of the present and past at the Muziekgebouw.

Hollandse nieuwe Ralph van Raat

It doesn't get any newer than this: all six of the six pieces on tonight's program are world premieres. It is therefore no coincidence that five of the six pieces were specially composed for Ralph van Raat, who enthusiastically explains the program from the stage. As an advocate of fresh nuts, Van Raat has no equal. In addition to being an internationally renowned pianist, he is also a qualified pilot. Together, the seven compositions offer a sample of contemporary Dutch music: rich, vital and exceptionally varied. Can be heard in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ.

Kapralova, Martinů and Debussy Pavel Haas Quartet

The Pavel Haas Quartet is in its twentieth season and is in the top ten of the string quartet scene. The quartet takes its name from Czech composer Pavel Haas. Not surprisingly, Czech music is an important pillar in the quartet’s idiosyncratic repertoire. In this concert, the beautiful but rarely performed music of composer Vítězslava Kaprálová will be played.

Matthäus Passion according to Sebastiani by Vox Luminis + Lionel Meunier

He almost shared his name with Johann Sebastian Bach: Johann Sebastiani. Half a century before Bach’s iconic St Matthew Passion, this German composed his own version of the Passion. In his compact St Matthew Passion, Sebastiani set an important trend with the addition of Lutheran chorales. The evangelist as tenor and Christ as bass will also sound familiar to anyone who knows Bach’s passions.

Dutch Masters Ere Lievonen

Sixty years of Dutch music history on the Fokker organ. Not only the Fokker organ, but also the Dutch composer in the spotlight. How do the most important contemporary Dutch composers deal with the possibilities of the 31-tone organ? Various trendsetters in Dutch music such as Joël Bons and Peter-Jan Wagemans take up the challenge and try out the Fokker organ. Their new works sound alongside 'classics' such as Collages (1962) by Peter Schat and Larghetto by Hans Kox. More than sixty years of Dutch music history on the Fokker organ. Come and listen in the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ.

Extending String Quartet: Island Suite Solem Quartet + Ayanna Witter-Johnson

Songwriter, composer, pianist and cellist Ayanna Witter-Johnson was inspired by Jamaican folk song and tells the story of her ancestors with her Island Suite for the Solem Quartet. Nearly a century before her, Bartók was also concerned with folk music, that from Eastern Europe. And again a hundred years earlier, Beethoven transcended time in his Grosse Fuge; music that – as Stravinsky said – will always sound contemporary.
