As the winter season unfolds and Amsterdam transforms into a winter wonderland, the Concertgebouw invites you to celebrate the holidays with a rich tapestry of performances. Known for its world-class acoustics and unparalleled atmosphere, the Concertgebouw offers a warm embrace of music and culture, perfect for international expats seeking memorable holiday experiences.

The Concertgebouw winter programme is a celebration of diversity, reflecting Amsterdam’s cosmopolitan spirit. Whether you are a classical music connoisseur, a jazz enthusiast, or a family looking for enchanting entertainment, there is something for everyone.

Situated in the heart of Amsterdam’s Oud-Zuid neighbourhood, the Concertgebouw is easily accessible with public transport and nearby parking. Enjoy a pre-concert drink in the foyers, or book a full experience with a dinner at their bistro restaurant Lier.

Must-hears in winter time

Some iconic compositions are synonymous with the Christmas spirit and should be experienced at least once:

Handel’s Messiah

Celebrate the season with this beloved masterpiece, featuring the powerful "Hallelujah" chorus and soul-stirring arias. 

Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker

A holiday favourite, this enchanting ballet captures the magic of dancing sugar plums and wintery wonderlands. (Unfortunately, this year’s performances are already sold out - be sure to book early for next year!)

Bach’s Christmas Oratorio

Experience the majestic splendour of Bach’s exquisite cantatas, a moving musical journey through the nativity story.
