Head of the River

Head of the River will return to the Amstel in March 2025. Rowing competitions are always incredibly exciting, but as the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race in England shows, it becomes even more interesting when rowing is not on a track, but on a river with unpredictable waters. Since the championship was first held in 1933, Head of the River Amstel has become one of the most popular rowing competitions in the country. NB: The dates and times mentioned for 2025 are subject to change.

Cappella Amsterdam, Berlage Saxophone Quartet + Jan Brokken - The righteous

In The righteous, based on the book of the same name by master storyteller Jan Brokken, Cappella Amsterdam presents the unknown, compelling story of the Dutch consul Jan Zwartendijk. He risked his life for the freedom of others. At the beginning of the Second World War he issued visas to thousands of Jews in Kaunas (Lithuania). With this visa for Curaçao they could travel to Japan via the Trans-Siberian Express and thus escape the Holocaust.
