Stibbe
The law firm Stibbe has been a partner of the Concertgebouworkest since 2007. Stibbe and the Concertgebouworkest share common themes like ambition, personal and professional development, and striving for excellence.
Managing Partner David Orobio de Castro also notes how the orchestra has positioned itself as a training institute. Stibbe, for its part, trains highly talented individuals to become outstanding lawyers and civil-law notaries. Each year, the Concertgebouworkest offers places to a few talented young musicians at the Concertgebouworkest Academy, allowing them to participate in orchestral productions under the guidance of members of the orchestra for a whole concert season.

A musical message
During the exam weeks, Stibbe wanted to do something special for students encourage their studying by offering focus music. Joris van den Berg, cellist with the Concertgebouworkest, played Bach's First Cello Suite, which ensured a wide reach via Stibbe's social media channels.
