Heleno SchneiderOctober 14, 2014Arrive early to the concert to enjoy the free drinks (including beer!). And then relax at the presentation. The seats behind the orchestra provide a generous view and are cheaper than the main floor.
Mathieu AbitbolMarch 3, 2017Beautiful place, you can attend to a free concert on Wednesdays. For that you need to come and get a free ticket around 11:00~11:30am. The concert then starts at 12:30pm
Lucille FisherNovember 29, 2017Beautiful concert hall. Catch their free lunch time concert (check dates, it varies). Just arrive about an hour before to get tickets.
- Duncan HowsleyApril 13, 2016Amazing! Make sure to go to the free lunchtime concert on Wednesdays. Arrive about 11.15 for a short queue to pick up tickets (tickets are able to be collected 1 per person from 11.30).
One of the best concert halls in the world. There are free lunchtime concerts usually on wednesdays, but may vary. Check the website.
Awesome venue! Top notch acoustics, and hold a fantastic variety of events for all tastes
Nico PitneyJune 21, 2014Beautiful concert space! Sat on one of the side balconies and had a great experience. There's free wine during intermission but it goes quick.
Mark de JongFebruary 18, 2013The balcony might a far place to enjoy a concert here, but definitely doesn't give any less impression of the place. Very nice style!
Shaun WestonFebruary 13, 2015Nice place to get a decent, low-cost glass of wine or a beer in a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. You may have to poke someone with a stick to get some attention.
Probably concert hall with the best acoustic in Europe! And I love how affordable the tickets are. If you are under 30, join their Entree to purchase any tickets (from any ranks), paying only 10 euro!
Linda Dell'OmoAugust 26, 2015Fine music, beautiful interiors, and complimentary wine: what more can you wish for a night out?
Jan KostelijkApril 3, 2018Beautiful concert building, great acoustics. Definitely try the tour around the building as well!
Francisca de JeerDecember 30, 2011They also have very good concerts offers for families and kids performances. Very convenient to reach by public transportation (from Amstelveen and Uithoorn as well)- Exploring JuliaJanuary 10, 2012Check out the free lunchtime concerts on Wednesdays - they're brilliant! It's first come, first served, or hang around as the concert is broadcast on screens in the foyer!
Estelle Billie-EveNovember 21, 2015The place is really nice! You can even have a nice lunch! It's not that expensive and it's very tasteful!!
Heiner TwenhäfelAugust 16, 2016I highly recommend the English backstage tour after the Sunday morning Concert. Funny and informative!
