On October 3, Jaap van Zweden leads the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Bruckner’s romantic Fourth Symphony. You don’t want to miss it - get your tickets today!

Experience Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony performed by the Concertgebouw Orchestra

The Concertgebouw Orchestra is performing the Fourth Symphony, one of Bruckner’s most popular works, under the direction of Jaap van Zweden. When Bruckner called his Fourth Symphony "romantic", he meant in the sense of medieval knights and castles, damsels in distress and noblemen hunting. For Bruckner, the first movement traces the following outline: ‘Medieval city - daybreak - morning calls sound from the city towers - the gates open - on proud horses the knights burst out into the open… - forest murmurs’.

The Fourth Symphony is highly evocative music that lets each listener imagine their own story of heroism and derring-do. Get your tickets today and experience it for yourself!

The Concertgebouw Orchestra

The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra was founded in 1888. Its distinctive sound has made it one of the world’s leading orchestras. 

The orchestra is famous for its renditions of works by Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss and Anton Bruckner, and for its long-standing concert traditions such as the St Matthew Passion in the week before Easter and the Christmas Matinee. It has always worked closely with contemporary composers. World-famous guest conductors such as Riccardo Chailly, Iván Fischer, Antonio Pappano, Myung-whun Chung and Joanna Mallwitz will be coming to Amsterdam to lead the orchestra next season. 

The Concertgebouw Orchestra has had just seven chief conductors to date. The eighth was announced on June 10, 2022: Klaus Mäkelä joined as artistic partner in the 2022-23 season and will become chief conductor in 2027. The coming season sees five extraordinary programmes with Klaus Mäkelä at the helm.
