Unique artistic projects

Multidisciplinary productions, operas in concert version and intimate concerts at unexpected locations. Each season, the Concertgebouworkest stands out with its special artistic projects.

Programming without borders

In accordance with the theme ‘programming without borders’, the orchestra, together with its creative partner Pierre Audi, is planning special performances at unconventional locations for three seasons starting in 2021.

‘This challenge provides a fantastic opportunity to work with composers, conductors and the orchestra to explore the interaction between music and other art forms. Such initiatives are particularly relevant at this time as we search for ways to underscore the importance of classical music for new generations and for a broader section of society.’
