A long history of romantic music in Het Park

In 1854, an international music festival took place in Het Park with piano superstar Franz Liszt present. With this claim to fame in mind, Het Park is the most fitting park to host such an event in the 21st century. Het Park set the stage for Romantic Music Day for over 30 years. Then, in 2026, Romantic Music Day became known as Klassiek in Het Park, in a partnership with Sinfonia Rotterdam.
