Concerts cancelled, Made in America online

Dear Sir or Madam,

Much to our regret, it became clear last Friday that the cultural sector will remain closed until 25 January at the earliest. As we do not anticipate being able to give concerts without social distancing immediately after 25 January, we have decided to cancel all concerts up to and including 30 January.

We will be sending you a separate email containing a link allowing you to easily convert your ticket(s) to a voucher, a refund or a donation. We ask that you please inform us of your preference before 25 January. After this date, we will convert your ticket(s) to a voucher. Please note that you may still request a refund after this time.

Made in America online

Despite the restrictions in place, we continue to assess all feasible options so that we can still make music. Fortunately, the orchestra is still permitted to assemble in order to perform. We look forward to sharing with you our Made in America online series from 28 to 30 January. Listen to a whole weekend of music from the United States – with streams of the scheduled orchestral concerts from the Concertgebouw, introduced by the Belgian presenter Thomas Vanderveken, and recordings of chamber music performed by our own musicians. 

Any questions?

Should you have any questions relating to this email, please feel free to contact our Customer Service Department on +31 (0)20 305 1015 (Monday to Friday from 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.) or at klantenservice@concertgebouworkest.nl. Because our Customer Service Department is currently experiencing higher volumes of work, it may take a little longer than usual for us to respond to your message.

We look forward to seeing you during the Made in America online programme – and do hope very much to welcome you again soon in person in the concert hall!

Kind regards,

Wietske Kuiper
Marketing and Sales Manager
