Gubaidulina (1931-2025)
On 13 March this year, Sofia Gubaidulina, one of the greatest composers of our time, passed away. We look back with gratitude on a long and close collaboration, which began with performances of her Offertorium in 1991. On 26, 27, and 28 March, Klaus Mäkelä will conduct this highly acclaimed work with violinist Julian Rachlin.
New music by leading women composers
This month’s programming features five works by female composers. They include two world premieres: Another Day by Calliope Tsoupaki and Spiri III: Sacred Ritual by Seung-Won Oh. What can we expect to hear in these brand-new commissioned works?
The orchestra and its Passion tradition
The performance of a Bach Passion every year on Palm Sunday is one of the Concertgebouw Orchestra’s oldest traditions. How did this begin – and why is the tradition still so strong after 126 years?
A fertile breeding ground for talent
Young, the youth orchestra of the Concertgebouw Orchestra, is proving to be a great springboard for future talent. Former participants Francisca Galante Vaz and Felipe Manzano are part of the orchestra’s Academy this season. The viola players share their experiences.
Concerts in honour of Amsterdam: 750 years
We celebrate Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary with two concerts full of special premieres. Tania Kross sings Joop Stokkermans songs and a new suite from the Antillean opera Katibu di shon. In addition, we’ll perform music for orchestra, choir and soloists by Louis Andriessen.
A special conclusion to our Bruckner cycle
Manfred Honeck concludes our Bruckner cycle with the last symphony Bruckner wrote. He died before he was able to complete it. We will play his enigmatic swan song, including the Finale completed according to latest insights.
Bequeath to Culture Week
From 4 to 10 November, we take part in the national “Bequeath to Culture Week”. Johnny ten Theije and Theo Soons explain why they chose to include the Concertgebouw Orchestra in their wills.
