SummerConcerts at TheConcertgebouw in July and August 2024

Nothing screams summer more than attending a lively, musical performance with your loved ones. With a selection of more than 80 concerts, ranging from classical to jazz and from film music to a capella, there is no shortage of choice for audience members.

If you are going to one of the SummerConcerts at The Concertgebouw, you can enjoy a CHANDON Garden Spritz cocktail during show intervals. The fun doesn't just stop there, though, because many of the concerts include a Meet & Greet or an afterparty with a DJ. The SummerConcerts is powered by VriendenLoterij.

IamExpat has 10 pairs of tickets to give away for each of the following concerts: 

Tiken Jah Fakoly (July 23)

 The Master of African Reggae, Tiken Jah Fakoly, will also be performing. His music speaks out against the injustices experienced by Ivorians as well as by Africans in general and is one of the acts to look out for. He will perform at The Concertgebouw on July 23.
